To be fair, only Consensys and R3CEV are &quot;developing on ethereum&quot;... Microsoft and Red Hat are merely offering machine images with ethereum software pre-installed for their users, as they do for many other software tools- Though I&#x27;m happy to be corrected, if you can point me to a Microsoft and&#x2F;or Redhat-authored smart contract.<p>The news for ethereum is positive enough right now, no need to exaggerate the facts.
