Hello All,
Another funny post about Microsoft and GitHub. This one comes from the latest

Subject: Microsoft to acquire GitHub for $7.5 billion
via NNSquad
Microsoft Corp. on Monday announced it has reached an agreement to acquire
GitHub, the world's leading software development platform where more than 28
million developers learn, share and collaborate to create the future.
Together, the two companies will empower developers to achieve more at every
stage of the development lifecycle, accelerate enterprise use of GitHub, and
bring Microsoft's developer tools and services to new audiences.
All GitHub users forthwith will be required to run Windows 10 or subsequent
Microsoft operating systems with all privacy options disabled, manage their
code only by voice via Cortana, and install the new Microsoft Clippy 2018!
Microsoft Office Assistant on all of their devices. Microsoft will now scan
all GitHub materials for patent infringement and turn violators over to local
authorities for arrest.
Later,
Sean
