Microsoft is becoming Platinum Member of Linux Foundation

Recently, Microsoft proudly announced that it is becoming a Platinum member of the Linux Foundation. 15 years ago, Ballmer, its former chief executive, described Linux as cancer. Although this move is meaningful to Microsoft, in the open source world, many people see Microsoft as the enemy, and Microsoft's expansion in the open source industry disagree, that Microsoft to join the Linux Foundation, it may slow down the Linux development, and ultimately kill it.

While this sounds like a huge conspiracy, Jim Zem, executive director of the Linux Foundation, said in a media interview that Microsoft is now a completely different company and that Microsoft is now a Platinum member of the Linux Foundation and is obligated to support the organization's mission to support Linux development, open source and open source. Microsoft is not only committed to doing so, but has made a lot of contributions.

Joining the Linux Foundation as a Platinum member is not the only thing that Microsoft does, the software giant has started to open up some of its engines for. NET, PowerShell and Edge browsers. In addition, as Microsoft's top product, Windows 10 is equipped with an Ubuntu subsystem, and Microsoft is trying to blend two worlds together.
