I have been exclusively using linux for close to a decade, but
the points mentioned by Amarendra make complete sense.
I am a linux user because it is the "right tool" *for me*, not
because MS Windows is "bad/evil"
I am thinking of moving to OSX because it is *nix under the hood,
and all the "right tools" are available for OSX as well. (cost of
hardware is holding me back, but not for long)
Microsoft do contribute a fair bit to linux.
You will find their commits in all of our distros, BOSS included.
Please elaborate on their commits. Are they beyond the Hyper-V
drivers to the Linux kernel?
Your right - mainly Hyper-V support it seems, but that's more commits
than, for example, Canonical.

I am no fan of MS - I particularly dislike their approach to licensing
in India and the current aggressive targeting of the education sector.
I just thought that their contribution was something to point out in the
context of this discussion as some people may not know about it.
