Let's recap.
Prior to today, a community-developed fork of Google's open-source operating system could be installed by using an app from Google's own app store (which sometimes bricked the phone).
After today, a community-developed fork of Google's open-source operating system can be installed by downloading the installer from the CM website.
This somehow makes Google like 90's Microsoft?
How many operating systems or web browsers did Microsoft open-source?
How many forks of their software did Microsoft tolerate?
Calling Google "90's Microsoft" is like calling Obama a socialist: it shows an utter lack of perspective of what a real socialist looks like. (If you want to see a real socialist, read about Kshama Sawant who was just elected to the Seattle City Council and wants to collectivize Amazon.com and Boeing).
I wouldn't even bother responding to stuff like this, but it's getting upvoted on HN which is depressing.
