If Windows is so great, why are they so focused on developing for Linux?

This is happening in every linux user group. PLUG, PSU, random people 
you meet on the street and on the internet. All it takes is 3 words and 
these people will run their mouths off about how bad init scripts are 
despite decades of success. They don't care about facts, and make a 
point in ignoring any attempts to discuss the merits of systemd.

Note how comments are disabled for that video, they know that it will 
get a negative reaction. This is a classic totalitarian tactic to 
control communication and spread mis-information.

They praise Microsoft and write code that is - By their own admission - 
designed after the win32 architecture knowing that this is against what 
we do here. They aren't looking to develop on Linux, they are working to 
destroy it.

Like Lennart Poettering said, "a fish rots from the down", and that 
video brought a nasty fish smell to every list it was posted to.
