Microsoft is a business entity. It should therefore come as no surprise that it generally has its own best interests at heart. Right now, it suits Microsoft to be a member of the Linux Foundation, though noone outside of the people who approved the financial backing for the platinum membership will likely know the exact reasoning and motives for the decision.
Can Microsoft kill Linux? As history has shown so far, this is unlikely. Can Microsoft sponsor and thereby influence the development of Linux? Certainly. After all, if RedHat can, why not Microsoft?

Would be cool if they stopped being the usual corporate asses, for a change.

Could we please know the names of people who got bribed and accepted these assholes here?
It's software freedom too much to ask in this shitty world?
Btw, if you look at the board members, there are also other grade A+++ assholes like Samsung, Oracle, Huawei (platinum members), Adobe, Allwinner, Autodesk, ARM, J.P. Morgan, Lenovo (silver members).
Linux Foundation members help support the development of shared technology resources while accelerating their own innovation through open source.
I mean, they have J-fucking-P-fucking-Morgan in there already.
