There are all sorts of problems with this narrative. Today's Microsoft isn't the Microsoft of Monkeyboy Ballmer - it's much worse than that. Windows 10 is the most invasive and user disrespecting operating system ever. And it's not even open source.

They still hate GPL. They still use patent trolls against folks. The Microsoft of today isn't so much loving open source as following the "embrace, extend, extinguish" strategy from the original powerpoints.

And the Linux Foundation also has its problems. Having kernel developers financially depend on big companies including Microsoft isn't necessarily good for users. It's like the W3C and its membership, and how that impacts on standards decisions.
