Spoiler alert:

> The "why" part seems to be forgotten now: because Microsoft was threatening to sue all the Linux vendors shipping Windows 95-like desktops.

Which, last time this was posted on HN, was denied by a lot of the key people who were actually there.

Denied, but not shown wrong in any way.

Reminder: anything other than denial means admission, and that exposes them and their employers to legal threats.

Feel lucky, it’s completely made up bullshit.

You are very hostile and keep calling me names, and I don't even know who you are.

Why do you keep attacking a stranger? Do you hate me for some reason? Because it certainly feels like it.

I do not see that person attacking you. He's saying the article is bs, that is about the article, not you as a person.

> You are very hostile and keep calling me names

I haven't seen one reply from that person that is about you as a person. I see loads of replies saying the article is bs. I see loads of replies from you saying that a claim is true unless proven otherwise. Not sure, but the aggression is not one-sided.

Frankly, until I saw their replies, my impression was that the article was bad, and I'd have forgotten about it and who wrote it in minutes. If anyone gets a bad impression of this person over this, it will be because of their responses in this thread with the stubborn refusal to accept that they haven't provided any evidence for claims that are being contested by an increasing number of people who were directly involved.
