Lennart Poettering, the mastermind and founder of Avahi, Pulseaudio and most notable Systemd, quietly left Redhat (so IBM) a short while ago. It's now officially confirmed that his new employer is going to be Microsoft, Inc. He will continue working on Systemd there.
People are now hoping that systemd-registry and systemd-activedirectory will become standard parts of the default distribution pretty soon! Or maybe Microsoft finally wants to migrate Windows to the Linux kernel?
Many people though do agree that Poettering's design philosophy matches pretty well with Microsoft, which can be summarised as "Internet Explorer is now an eternal, integral part of Windows."
