Thanks for reporting this. Though I bluntly admit I just ignore everything coming from Microsoft. Hotmail has been tagging my company's mailserver as a spammer for ages, so I'm tagging everything coming from Microsoft as crapware. Nothing good has ever been produced by this company. The last time I actually used MS Windows for work was around 2001, before Windows XP came out. This is the year I moved to Linux (Slackware 7.1 at the time), and I've been 100 % GNU/Linux ever since.
This is a bit shortsighted. Microsoft has been producing excellent video games for years.
Seriously, I am inclined to cut them some slack since they started promoting OSS. They are planning of opensource everything they do which I think deserves a big thumbs up.
Oracle however.....
