Few of those times when I get to add microsoft and opensource together in the tags.

Holy fuck balls on a stick 😱

Quick, someone write a snarky comment about why this is just an evil PR stunt!

You can still hate Microsoft if you want. 🤣

Fuck yeah, go New-Microsoft!

Microsoft Always was a big supporter of open source.

Wait... what the fuck?!
