So I will write a piece first.
You can click here to what I talked about 'open source' in my twitter.
Long ago, Microsoft as evil empire or something.
Not so long ago--or a few or a decades ago, people called Microsoft as evil empire so when people mention about the MS(Microsoft), they wrote as 'M$' or something.
When I saw that 'M$', I thought that's how abbreviation works--or slang in English. At the time, I haven't learn English so I might slightly messed up my memories.
But time has changed.

So I think I can say Windows 10 started to support Linux (kind of...) natively.

Microsoft shipped full Linux kernel about last May which I tweeted about it:

Microsoft knew how world--software will change--#Opensource is the #future--#FOSS Linux.
One of the reason why I said "End of #iPhone--#MacOS." https://t.co/YMvJGEHYjY
It was still development stage, I think.
And that's not all.
If you are using Android smartphone, you can go to find bunch of free Microsoft apps in Google's play store. Android is open source and Microsoft made a lots of apps for it.
And number of Microsoft's Windows application like calculator made it to the open source.
github.com is software development platform. And I think it is very famous website for the 'open source software project'.
And you can find so many github project from Microsoft--you can click here to see it yourself.
I just found Microsoft has open source project website opensource.microsoft.com.
See. I am quite sure that I can say 'time has changed'.
* I will talk more about it later. I don't know when can I write more but hopefully soon.
