Thanks for all the examples where Microsoft pulled a Trojan. I totally agree. If Win32 embraces the Linux kernel calls to make Docker work without virtualization, is there a possible Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish plan? Or are businesses smart enough to avoid a repeat of ActiveX?

Microsoft made a pact with Sun back in the day where they would support Java. If memory serves, Microsoft supported a Java that only worked on Win32 using J/Direct calls that natively supported Win32 instead of being OS independent like most Java apps.
