Unless you can name the dark purpose you speak of I would suggest it remain in the eye of the beholder. this is a typical Jack article with no substance, designed to make the comments light up with another Open Source v Microsoft tiresome pissing contest.
at least Jack, you mention MS is a huge contributor to the Linux kernel (top 20? - try top 3) what about that IBM are a huge contributor to the other technologies you mention.
MS are simply moving towards IT as a service- anybody working in IT already knows this - don't they?
