@a1ba @usernameswift @atlrvrse Yeah there was a very broad perception among the technically literate portion of general public when I was younger that Google were the scrappy underdog freedom fighter types while Microsoft was the irredeemable pure evil who seeked to enclose the commons of the web and Unix to achieve total vertical integration and control over the industry. Now of course, Google has coopted the web and Unix and used it to do things 90s Microsoft could only dream of.
