Just do some basic research and you will find that your beloved Microsoft
has done plenty of things to attack Linux and Open Source over the years.
They pay people a lot of money to work on their behalf and "poison the
well" at every opportunity. For example, who do you think the SCO case was
funded by? What is the real point of UEFI? AMD's inability to cooperate
with the open source multimedia community. Nokia dropping all open source
development in favour of Windows 8/RT...

These are just a few things that spring to mind. The list is long and
pretty frustrating so if you are not interested in it then don't worry
your pretty little head about it.

If no one else has any opinion then I will spin up a new svn or git repo.
SF is offering git these days too.
