I would prefer a free OS funded by lots of organisations putting a
little money in, rather than relying on a few companies that invest
a lot and whose individual opinions therefore matter. But beggers
can't be choosers (although I can still choose old versions of

I bothers me how many Linux users want these large corps money in the game. It's dangerous in my opinion because these companies don't have their users best interests at heart at all. And for Microsoft it's all EEE anyways so Microsoft's Money in Linux is very bad news. (yes, pun intended for those who got it).
