Comment Re:It's call Linux (Score 2) 93

Linux source is available, but there was a big purge of contributors with Russian affiliation. So in theory that's more throttled in the sense that they can't upstream convenience patches. For example, if Russia has to make it's own chips for something, network cards, or interfaces, getting the device patches would be more difficult. Is that a problem? Only one of convenience but at the speed of tech today, maybe a bigger one than it would have been years back.

My initial thoughts were along these lines, you may jest, but developers working on modern things have mostly moved on from Windows, so it would make more sense for MSFT to focus on WINE compatibility.

Azure brings in the big money, so focusing on Windows is a lost venture now (Windows 10 was meant to be the last).
