Do we need to be reminded that IBM had a 32 bit desktop OS a year and a half before MS could muster one up? They finally (20 years late) gave Windows 10 users two huge benefits millions of us have been enjoying for more that 20 years: virtual desktops (a VERY clumsy implementation to be sure) and a usable command prompt window.
Even at this time they are using their ridiculous "software patents" to prevent innovation and hold back the advance of the industry. Microsoft is and always has been a poison to technology. Everything they have has been acquired either through purchasing or bankrupting the innovator. There's a lot of stuff on GitHub MS can now steal and market like they invented it...welcome to the Windows World. They've never invented anything but they sure know how to market other people's innovations. The sooner NB liberates itself from GitHub the better off we'll be. If Git is the tool of choice I say let Apache set up it's own Git repositories for Apache projects.
