This dude specifically had a hate boner for linux because they got absolutely shredded in the server space and the only reason MSFT survived in the end user product line was because they were already an established monopoly capable of forcing and coercing OEMs to never to offer an alternative OS from the factory lol.

But yes, at least they had some actual marketing ideas and design talent and not an infinite stream of slop.

Although even Ballmer gifted us the crapshow that was windows 8 before he conveniently dipped.
