What was the last thing Microsoft successfully "extinguished"?


That doesn't mean that it isn't still their modus operandi.


That only says something about the results, not about what they tried.

What worries me is that lots of Node.js code may get developed on Windows and be unable to run on other implementations. I have seen Windows-only Java code. I know it can be done.

And it always seems a waste, for it already should run fine under Cygwin, much closer to the original implementation.
