I can't really follow the article. Too much paranoia, or negativity, I guess.

All I care about is having a usable Linux shell and Linux tool on my Windows
machine. What else can you expect from Microsoft? Yeah, they are doing it so
that people don't switch over to Linux completely. What more can you expect?

Is it even Microsoft's job to establish a standard for 3d Graphics and what
not? Or is the ball in the park of graphics card vendors and game developers?

Why do I have Windows on my machine? I don't fully trust Linux to achieve the
same level of power management. I can play games. I have a dual graphics card,
which would be a hassle to use on Linux.

It would be notebook vendor's job to release Linux notebooks with good power
management. Chip vendors to release specs that enable Linux developers to
create such drivers. And so on.

OpenGL seems to have coexisted with DirectX for a while. I don't know enough
about OS development to be able to judge if Microsoft prevented OpenGL from
achieving the same performance as DirectX.

Given the abysmal security history of Windows, my guess would be that it was
possible to get close to the metal as a driver developer, at least in the old
days.

Also MS couldn't be expected to take care of an interface that works on iOS
and Linux. They are responsible for Windows.

The author misses the bigger picture completely.

Microsoft used to see Linux as competition, and while that might still be true
in some ways, it’s largely moot for a couple of reasons.

In 2019, Windows isn’t competing with Linux for desktop market share not
because Linux poses no threat there, but because _the desktop doesn’t matter
anymore_.

Windows, and the desktop operating system as a concept, is competing with the
web browser in the enterprise and mobile devices in the retail market (and
even then, it’s not really a competition - most
that don't make any
