Didn't Microsloth prop up Apple financially ages ago? I remember them investing or buying shares in the early Jobbs days. Just too lazy to look it up. I agree with you wholeheartedly, especially when it is proven they rigged the employment market to drive down wages in the tech field. Why would they not conspire on many other projects.

I have been waiting for a Linux platform for mobile for ages and would be happy to give it a go. But Ubuntu has hardly progressed and I know of no other projects in the works. Was kind of excited for Firefox OS as it was based on hybrid web based apps but that went nowhere. It perplexes me that there is no open source or at least GNU OS on the market. Not a mobile dev but I would imagine it has to do with complexity of mobile components and the lack of support from the manufacturers.

Right on! Thanks for the link. I remember even back then thinking that it was an odd decision.

Nvidia did something similar for AMD.

Good to know. Controlled opposition is the best opposition.
