I know that, but why not microsoft?
It's not like I want to endorse them, but to me it seems like they deserved the spot (?) I don't know, back then satya hadn't taken the seat (he was CEO in 2014) and microsoft still was a bit crusty and not so close to open source
I'll bet they didn't want to create the acronym without the N so they just found a fifth company to throw in there.
