Linus: "Microsoft Hatred Is a Disease"
For the most part, I agree with Linus. MS shouldn't be excluded, or hated solely because it's MS.<p>But, that doesn't mean they should be welcomed with open arms, either. MS has done some nasty stuff to us (OOXML, FUD campaigns, patent threats, et cetera). I recognize that companies are large and fluid, but they should still be held accountable.<p>MS has recently decreased their evil_count in my books, but they still have a long way to go...<p>With companies I trust, I  ``trust, but verify''. With MS, I ``distrust until verified.''
