Microsoft Chat Recommends Linux

Description

A blue chat widget headed "Hey you! Let's chat." shows Microsoft-logo bot messages in a web-style interface. The bot asks, "Have you ever heard of the free and open-source operating system called Linux?" the user replies "maybe," the bot explains, "It was created in 1991 by Linus Torvalds. It is very popular now, as it is used on most servers and desktops," and after the user asks, "Should I use it instead of windows?" the bot answers, "You should use Linux instead of Windows." The humor is the apparent Microsoft-branded assistant endorsing Linux in the long-running Windows-versus-Linux operating-system rivalry.

No one did that much for me to start learning and using *nix than Microsoft, beginning with Windows Vista and then Windows 8.
