The post has been put out by the people that made Mastodon. Why should anyone trust you over them when you provide 0 arguments against them.
Embrace Extend Extinguish was always a Microsoft strategy and one they have been forced to abandon over the years. Their attitude changed towards open source because it doesn't work! I think you might be the one who is lacking in knowledge or "education" here.
Open source doesnt work? Would love to see a source on that one alone. Almost sounds like you have an agenda to sell.
I think you misinterpreted what they said. They meant "Their attitude changed towards open source because [Embrace, Extend, Extinguish] doesn't work"
That's exactly what I meant! Did I fail to write it clearly or is their reading comprehension no good?
I had to read it twice because I misinterpreted it the same way.
That "it" could be interpreted either as 'open source' or 'EEE' from the previous sentence.
The sentence itself is a little ambiguous but it's nothing major, it's easy enough to get the message from context
?
What's your question? Microsoft invented and then abandoned the EEE strategy because the strategy dosen't work! Open source never went away no matter what they did.
