Microsoft tried that first with Linux. Remember “Linux is a cancer”? 
Remember the “Get The Facts” campaign? Remember the crowing over the fact 
that the London Stock Exchange picked Windows Server over Linux to run 
their mission-critical real-time trading system? Then after that system 
ignominiously fell apart, they switched to Linux anyway?

“Extinguish” failed. And Windows never recovered from its reputation for 
unreliability.
