Microsoft didn't invent anything.
I did not post that statement as the original poster of that statement.
Your comment about BSOD strongly suggests you agree with the sentiment.
I reiterate. Microsoft for good or bad has made major advances in
software and is responsible for a fair fraction of what we experience in
our Linux world.
My view is that much of what Microsoft produces is plain awful, mainly
on commercial grounds, but a lot of what they have produced is highly
influential and relevant to the Linux community.
The latest Microsoft incursion is Visual Studio Code. It's a real
innovation. If you are a Linux Developer and not competent in using it
you will shortly be consigned to history. Now add in ChatGPT (a
Microsoft product) and you have the road-map of most software generation
for Linux as well as Microsoft for the next five years.
