I do have to slightly adjust my stance here — The above implies I am saying Microsoft will destroy Linux when the truth is they have their own Linux projects. And Ubuntu continues to be free. That, and if Microsoft's influence becomes too great and typical kernel.org stuff is swept under the rug for rampant consumerism and the emergence of a Microsoft-controlled paid solution in the Linux userland becomes a thing, there will be alternative, free kernels that wholly represent FLOSS.
...That, and @Wimpy is working in tandem with Microsoft for Windows Subsystem on for Linux. So I cannot quite say Microsoft's the bad guy so long Martin, our beloved project lead for this beautifully-crafted operating system has at least a platonic relationship with them. Arguably I shouldn't have any ill will toward Microsoft but their past still haunts hella hard and my wariness stands firm — My trust in Microsoft, especially after Windows 8 remains distant.
