Windows 10: Cannot connect or ping to microsoft.com, github.com and related sites

Hello, I have a Windows machine Myanmar, Windows VPS Thailand, and also Linux VPS United States.

Microsoft Acquires GitHub?

Okaaaayyyy.... Maybe we should start making a list of alternatives to GitHub?

Also, GitHub is a private company, but who owns it? Who gets money from this move?

 

Microsoft Acquires GitHub?

It's right in the article. Microsoft is one of the biggest user of Github and no matter what people want to think Github has been struggling, loosing money for quite a while now. So it makes sense for Microsoft to buy it, if only so they can continue to use it. But more likely they will integrate it into their ecosystem. Will this mean change for Github? Absolutely, but Github needed a change. It was no longer sustainable in its current form, it wasn't making any money, and if it can't make money it can't continue to live in its current form.

 

Microsoft Acquires GitHub?

In a move that could significantly shake up the software industry, reports are emerging that Microsoft may have acquired GitHub, and that an announcement to that effect could be made on Monday (4th June). A 2015 valuation of GitHub put it at USD $2 billion, but it's not clear at what price Redmond struck this deal. GitHub had been struggling for the past few quarters and hadn't appointed a full-time CEO since the departure of Chris Wanstrath in August 2017.

This deal could have sweeping ramifications on the software industry because proprietary software companies use GitHub for private repositories of software source-code, so their developer teams spread across the globe could collaborate (they now have to content with Microsoft owning GitHub); and for ideologically-charged free software (and OSS) developers to continue to run their projects on GitHub. Microsoft has been a top contributor on GitHub, with over 1,000 employees pushing code to public and non-public projects on the platform.
