Everything authenticated by Microsoft is tainted
He's absolutely right, you really can't trust anything they sign anymore.  This is why Microsoft has been so defensive about their stance since it occurred.  I've said the same since the news got out, but all my Microsoft-y friends I told didn't care.  In fact, they all shrugged it off like "what are ya gonna do?"<p>That's exactly the problem - what ARE companies going to do?  Migrate OFF windoze?  Migrate out of Azure?  To Linux?<p>Certainly not, Microsoft-y admin only know Microsoft, they usually can't do much else, it's all they know.  They certainly won't bite the hand the feeds them.  That means the organizations are stuck, which is exactly what Microsoft wanted all those years ago with a monopoly, and got it.<p>Customers too stuck in their own ways to do anything but be a slave to Microsoft and their constant insecurity deserve what they get sadly.
