This was when the DOJ was investigating Microsoft for abusing its monopoly.

Microsoft of now 25 years later has a different posture to Linux and open source.

Bill Gates of now 25 years later has a different posture to the world and is distributing 200b to Africa and emerging economy development and health.

Yea, he was an asshole. Still may be. He isn't the Antichrist.

No, they won't. Because billionaires can harm whoever they want and then just donate some money to compensate for the damage

Firing senior employees

Taking over the dev ecosystem with VSCode and purchasing Github. Microsoft has direct daily access to over 40% of the worlds developers.

Firing the entire Faster CPython team.

Microsoft never changed, they just got wise.

Nothing to do with Gates, though.

It does, It is the same Microsoft that Gates created. It is Gates.

If you think about the anti-Christ as the opposite to Christ, it is exactly what he is.

Christ told the truth, Bill Gates told us lies.

Christ cared about poor people, Bill Gates cared only about enrich himself.

Yeah, right. They released Program Manager and Pinball as open source. Quite a different posture to Linux. /s
