It seems to have very plainly been a mistake, and your comment broke the site guidelines. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

I did warn everyone that Microsoft has gotten smarter and is 'using' open-source and Linux for EEE. We know how they embrace and extend.

Extinguish basically now means:

'We fork the best open-source tools and they sit on our cloud and are more secure and scale better than if you self-hosted it, and is completely free to use.'

Paid competitors can't compete or will struggle to compete with free, given that it is open-source and more secure and is sitting on the cloud and scales. Lastly, nobody got fired for buying products with Microsoft® stamps.
