Will this not dilute search results related to sudo? It's minor but I think could be considered EEE.

Sounds like a bit of a desperate reach to attach the EEE label to this.

Desperation is when there is no reason to think something can be done. I'm way past the stage of assuming honest intentions from M$. If this comes to bite us like EEE then shame on us.

To be honest, it just sounds like you have an unnecessary chip on your shoulder.

It's up to me to decide my friend from my foe, appears justified and important to me.

I can definitely see this argument, but I strongly suspect the inverse will be true; finding results for MS sudo which aren't about Linux might be difficult.

After all, sudo has existed for a long time. Also, I assume over 90% of people who use Linux uses or has used sudo, whereas a tiny fraction of Windows users will ever use MS sudo.

Microsoft has done this already for tons of windows applications. For example, open up powershell and run “curl”. It’s a http downloader program, but not the one you think of, and the args are completely different. This has been the case for years, yet you can still find answers for curl problems by searching. I don’t see this being any different.
