All I said was MS is crap. I stand behind my statement. Looks like their PR team is working overtime here.

    Mate. I don't even use Windows anymore lol

    And I started a few open source projects and contributed to a lot of them.

    This is why Linux still isn't gaining market share because for 25 years I've been watching the community scare off developers and treat them like crap. It happens constantly.

    You're not giving anyone any incentive to assist

    In all likelihood they donated this code because it doesn't benefit them anymore or became a burden. The developers aren't sitting there thinking "mmm, this is gonna make us so popular".

    Did you know the guy who stayed mono is actually the guy who started gnome? They got acquired by Microsoft.
