Well, theres trying to make money, and then there is having all the money in the world, and just being greedy douche bags, and wanting even more :P And just a habit LOL I think it would be even more appropriate to put dollar signs all around Apple though, as I think MS is the slightly lesser of the two evils believe it or not. Apple are straight up assholes :P
That would be cool non the less if they made some code available. Atleast linux will always be around though, I don't think Windows/MS's stranglehold will last forever. I prefer an open-source community driven/supported OS, rather than a closed-source massive corporation driven/supported one, but thats just me :P
Every huge company is greedy....or else they wouldn't survive. Saying that, MS are one of the least since they provide a LOT of free software, as well as discounts for their paid software for students etc.
Something greedy I would call EA, with their neverending DLC and micro-transactions etc.
Microsoft will still dominate for the next 50 years, like it or not. They have a hold of all the business and the majority of home users, and that's not going to change because it's what people use with their personal services.
And no, I wouldn't want a community driven OS, that would be a mess (as proven by so many Linux versions).
A company can make tons of money without being greedy shitbags, engaging in shady business practices, and ripping there customers off. The quality of Apple's products have gone down a lot in recent years. Plus the fact that they take advantage of the slave labor over in china (Foxconn), and don't care if they actively help violate basic human rights, as long as they get there money. I'll admit, my opinion on MS has changed a bit for the better. But I honestly feel like Windows has ruled the desktop for longer than it should, with smartphones and tablets being dominated by Android, and iOS, and the server market being dominated by Linux, I think Windows time is limited. Open source is being preferred more and more over closed.
EA is a shit hole of a company. I can't believe some of the shit they pull to rip people off, or maybe I can LOL
I don't expect, or even want linux to replace windows, I want it to have just enough of a foothold so that game devs, and whatnot take it more seriously.
I dunno, Manjaro, PCLinuxOS, and others are pretty amazingly well maintained/managed by there respective communities :)
