Microsoft was founded in 1975—that's 43 years ago and a ton of
history. Up until the last decade, the company led a campaign against
the Open Source and Free Software movements, and although it may have slowed
the opposition, it did not bring it to an end. In fact, it emboldened
its supporters to push the open-source agenda even harder. Fast-forward to the present, and open-source technologies run nearly
everything—mobile devices, cloud services, televisions and
more.
