Greg Kroah-Hartman Gripes About Microsoft's Linux Contribution; MS Renews Effort
dp619 writes "Microsoft's developers were missing in action after the company donated GPL-licensed drivers to the Linux kernel community in July, leaving significant work to the Linux community, according to Linux driver project lead and Novell fellow Greg Kroah-Hartman. The company rekindled its involvement after Kroah-Hartman published a status report this week. Kroah-Hartman said that other companies were also laggards in Linux development, and that Microsoft's lack of involvement was nothing out of the ordinary."
Wow, did you not even read the summary? Greg KH bitches about everybody.
How we know is more important than what we know.
I don't think the GPL has a defined coding style. Maybe we can put that in v.4.

Hmm.. did they forget to thank? It's quite common to cry about this and that... when the only think needed is to shut your mouth and THANK for the little help.
If you're here to build me a bridge, then tell me so and build it. If you're here to bring me a stone, then don't tell me you're here to build me a bridge.
Oh, cry me a river...
coding is life
I'd just like to see more positive reinforcement, lest their devs lose any inclination to release code voluntarily in the future.
This code supports Linux guests in Hyper-V. In other words, it takes the legendary speed, security and stability of Windows and fuses it to the famous app compatibility and user friendliness of Linux.
It's fair to say the world is better off without it. I'd just as soon people didn't encourage such foolishness.
Help stamp out iliturcy.
