Microsoft's plans to buy GitHub, the popular software Store platform used by many Crypto projects, have long been known. Things got a little more serious and Microsoft plans to sign a deal with GitHub by the end of this year and end the purchase.
Microsoft will go back to its roots with GitHub
The acquisition of the software giant GitHub is thought to be the first step to return to Microsoft's roots. Bill Gates and Paul Allen set up Microsoft to develop software products on personal computers. As a hobby, software developers have provided an opportunity to program their projects seamlessly. Since then, Microsoft has grown exponentially with video game consoles (Xbox), consumer electronics, personal computers and Cloud Services (Microsoft Azure). Currently Microsoft's current CEO, Satya nadella, has been interested in coding programs and coding initiatives since 2014. Satya nadella said at the company's annual conference for developers:
The developers never had the opportunity to influence the community. However, this opportunity comes with great responsibilities. Sometimes the bad side effects of technology can only correct the developers. To better understand our responsibility for technology, we need to look at the 1984 novel by George Orwell. In the novel, technology is used to monitor and control people. As in the Brave New World of another classic, Aldous Huxley, we do not want people to be distracted, meaningless or purposeless.
Microsoft will support decentralized applications with GitHub
By purchasing Gidub, Microsoft wants to allow more than 27 million developers to change the world, enabling decentralized and open-source programs. Microsoft's Corporate Communications Vice President, Frank X. Shaw didn't comment on the purchase rumors as before. The only thing to do now is to wait for Microsoft or GitHub to make an official announcement for the purchase to become official.
