IMicrosoft ibisishintsha umqondo wayo isikhathi eside, yize abanye bethi okufunayo ukuqeda iLinux ngaphakathi. Kepha iqiniso ukuthi sebevele bakhiphe eminye imikhiqizo esekwe kwiLinux kanye neLinux distro yabo njengoba sazi. Eqinisweni, siyabona ukuthi bahlanganise kanjani uhlelo olungaphansi lweLinux ngaphakathi kwabo Windows 10, kanye nakulo ifu le-Azure, kungabalwa igalelo lezomnotho nentuthuko abalwenzile kwiLinux Foundation kanye ne-kernel uqobo ngokulandelana. Baphinde bavula ezinye zezinhlelo zabo, bathenga ipulatifomu yomthombo ovulekile iGitHub, njll.
Akuwona umbuzo wothando noma uzwela, kepha ukusinda okulula kweMicrosoft uqobo. Kepha manje sekuhambe igxathu elilodwa. Sesiyazi ukuthi iMicrosoft ibilokhu ikhona ukukhulisa inani elikhulu lemali lobunikazi ukuze isetshenziswe, ngokwesibonelo, i-FAT phakathi kobunye ubuchwepheshe obenziwe yiRedmond. Kuze kuthiwe bazele ukuzuza kakhulu ngokushaja amalungelo obunikazi kumadivayisi we-Android kunaseWindows Mobile yabo ehlulekile.
Ngemuva kokujoyina i-Open Source Initiative neLinux Foundation, iMicrosoft manje isijoyine I-OIN (Open Invention Network) enamalungelo obunikazi angaphezu kwama-60.000 futhi ngenhloso yokusiza ekuvikeleni uhlelo lweLinux. Yebo, gcoba amehlo akho uma ufuna, kodwa kuyiqiniso, akuyona ihlaya lika-Ephreli 1 nephupho. Isici senkampani esungulwe nguBill Gates ebesingasazi futhi esibonakala sihamba ngendlela efanele.
Kubukeka sengathi ngaphezu kwemali, iMicrosoft yenza ukuzibophezela kwangempela emphakathini. Okwalabo abangayazi i-OIN, kuyidiphozithi ye- Amalungelo obunikazi wokuzivikela abiwe ngenhloso yokuvikela i-Linux. Lokho wukuthi, ukusebenzisa la malungelo obunikazi ukuvimbela ukuhlukunyezwa nokuvikela amalungu awo afaka izinkampani ezinkulu namaphrojekthi afana neGoogle, iPython, i-OpenStack, nezinhlangano ezingaphezu kuka-2600 XNUMX emhlabeni jikelele.
U-Erich andersen, Usekela mongameli webhizinisi lakwaMicrosoft uthe: «Isinyathelo esilandelayo esinengqondo senkampani elalele amakhasimende nabathuthukisi futhi esizibophezele ngokuqinile kuLinux nezinye izinhlelo zemithombo evulekile yile. Siletha ku-OIN iphothifoliyo ebalulekile nejulile yamalungelo obunikazi angaphezu kwama-60.000. Siyethemba ukuthi isinqumo sethu sokujoyina sizodonsela ezinye izinkampani eziningi e-OIN, okwenza inethiwekhi yokulayisensa iqine nakakhulu ukuze kusizakale umphakathi ovulekile.«
