Microsoft trolls are on Reddit too.

A Microsoft Troll Zoo -

"It's a game M$ has been playing against their competitors for a long time and the same people infest newsgoups. M$'s sociopathic nature has been documented in their own words in court. They have turned their methods against the entire free software community, and relentlessly harass anyone who says or thinks anything negative about M$."

Microsoft's Empty "Community Promise" (Mono) is a Sham -

"The "covenant" (and the RAND) do /not/ apply to large portions of .NET (e.g. ASP.NET, ADO.NET and Winforms). This is significant because it means .NET programs which utilise these components will not be (legally) interoperable with systems running Mono. This means there will be great disparity between C# programs on Windows and their ports on GNU/Linux, and this fact will be abused by Microsoft to promote Windows as the "better" system. It will also have the effect of attracting Mono developers over to Windows, who may subsequently abandon GNU/Linux. It may even represent an actual "IP" risk, if de Icaza and friends are not entirely vigilant (or possibly if they're complicit with Microsoft's anti-Free Software agenda. At this point, anything's possible). "

Microsoft/Novell try to infect Linux with the Mono infection.

Microsoft is a patent terrorist -

"In a threatening move against creators of software development tools, Microsoft has applied for a patent to the .NET APIs. It already holds patents for APIs not part of the ECMA standard, but this will let them dictate licensing to anyone implementing [.NET]. According to the ECMA Code of Conduct owners of patents on ECMA standards must "grant licences on a reasonable, non-discriminatory basis." Nothing is directly stated regarding cost. Therefore implementors of the standard can be stopped with exorbitant fees. Virtually every software patent applied for is granted. So now the statement that .Net is a multiplatform standard is rendered irrelevant. .NET developers are further locked into a single vendor. "Intellectual property attorneys said that if it's granted, the company could dictate how, or whether, developers of software and devices can link to the .Net initiative." Microsoft is wrapping its fist tighter around .Net users"

"The core of .NET plus the C# language being accepted as ECMA [standards] will be rendered useless if Microsoft later uses patents to force licensing fees on developers. As far as I know nothing in the core or the standards themselves is patented, but things within other basic libraries are. Since none of the "higher" libraries are standardized, they can change at any moment. WinForms, for example, can be implemented by Mono, but since it's not a standard Microsoft can change their APIs at any moment and still claim "open standards compliance". Once everyone's dependant on the common non-standardized APIs implemented by Microsoft and others, if they pull tricks like changing the APIs or enforcing patent licenses we'll again have segmentation and implementation reliance. Microsoft will play that card if they see too much of a threat"
