    I don't get all the irrational hate for Microsoft that exists within the Linux community. In recent years, Microsoft has made great contributions
    to the everyday life of Linux users. VS Code is based on open source and available on Linux, .NET is now on Linux, Windows has WSL2 and Visual
    Studio Linux development tools to help you develop software for Linux,
    SQL Server (despite still being commercial software except for the
    Express and Developer versions) is on Linux, etc.

    You make it sound like Microsoft is doing the Linux world such a great
    favour by deigning to grant us such a boon as access to its wonderful proprietary products. Be very clear, Microsoft is doing *none* of this out
    of the goodness of its heart: it’s doing it purely to try to stem the flow
    of development momentum away from Windows and into Linux.

    Python is just another pawn in this game.

    Windows natively has something called python.exe and python3.exe which

    I'm wondering whether py.exe should be taught to recognise these stubs
    and ignore them. This sounds like something that could trip a lot of
    people up.

    Windows is such a great OS--if your time is worth nothing ...
