Microsoft Is Now Part Of The Eclipse Foundation

MS Should just make Windows 11 a Ubuntu based build Imagine how many heads would explode if they actually did that, but we all know their greed would never allow it!

oh yes so then useless distros will disappear and all the teams too. android has the monopoly on the mobile microsoft will continue to have the monopoly on desktops and laptop. You must be a very "smart" individual.

[theriddick]

Having their own Linux distro would be too SMART for MS to do. That would mean they could sell their software suites and products including their stupid store stuff on Linux, heaven forbid!

They already have: Azure Cloud Switch.

You're behind the times. MS has been a Linux kernel contributor for years (hyperV support and other things). In fact ever since the SCO fiasco blew into MS' face, they have been (mostly) playing game as far as Linux is concerned. Not defending MS, but we must pay credit where it is due.

It will definitely be a while before Microsoft is trusted in the open source community.

Now this is interesting news. Looks like MS is starting to behave the way they need to in some areas ....

Isn't Monodevelop based on Eclipse? That would make sense.
