Microsoft, under its current CEO, Satya Nadela began opening quite intense discussion space with open source, a business model that was previously seen as cynical by Microsoft because their main business model was selling proprietary sources, namely software projects protected by law and intellectual property rights ( Intellectual Property Rights) whether it's use, learning, or modification.

Microsoft under Satya Nadela began to open a space for discussion because it saw the massive open source ecosystem exemplified by Linux and Android, but this permissive attitude was still responded to cynically by some open source adherents, is it true that Microsoft really is sincere not to "hostile" open source again and instead began to adopt its business model? Of course, only Microsoft's central management knows this, but there is a sign that Microsoft is starting to slacken against open source with the launch of Android-based Nokia phones, as it is known that Nokia has also been purchased by Microsoft several years ago.

There are some parties who are considering the step of purchasing Github by Microsoft, this could be a step to read the developing software trend. By having the center of the repository code and project software, Microsoft is considered to be easy enough to read what software trends are happening and what will happen. With this one advantage, Microsoft will easily flap its wings leaving their other rivals in the software business.

There are also those who estimate that Microsoft is an attempt to go directly to the main fortress of the world developers, here Microsoft can capture reliable developers with open source schemes and develop a mutually beneficial developer ecosystem.
