You seriously think, this many years after Microsoft was wrongly accused of something they could not be (monopoly requires total control, period ) that 3 Linux distros have all given into the 800 lb gorilla and were literally threatened by this 800 lb gorilla, and not a word of it has leaked out? That is insane, delusional and could only happen in a piece of fiction.


3 Linux distros, that weren't doing all that well, or as well as they'd hoped, made business decisions. Smart ones. Why do you think this only favors Microsoft? What happens when the installed Linux base is to the point where they have total leverage. What in these deals would keep that from happening?

Hey, can't they take any Microsoft technology they receive, and release new software based on the Microsoft code overseas, thus avoiding any contract issues?
