You really need to shift your attitude. MS hasn’t been a useless organization.. they’ve been very useful at sucking up all of the capital that may have been useful to spur innovation in this industry.. oh even better, they’ve been able to use that capital to further stifle innovation.. all very useful… More seriously, it is unlikely that MS will change git in the short term and in fact it might be something that resembles the Skype acquisition. Essentially everything is the same. That said, I think that Tim’s point that a GitHub monoculture does leave us vulnerable to the whims of the the dictator in charge of that monoculture.. which was ok when we liked the dictator but now….
