Fair? Is the truth uncomfortable? Yes. Deal with it. And this company was never fair, at any time, to anyone. With Steve's stint as CEO after a few years he got softer and that was the best era of the company and for everyone else. But the current CEO [edited] turned the ship to be pretty end-user hostile (forced monthly updates on recent products, spying on user), the crude bribing of enterprise CTOs and their products are buggier and less documented then ever before. Devs run away, mobile market share is <1%. The trust is gone.
- toyg 11y agoHoly crap, dude, calm down. "India-born Bill 2.0 from a high caste", really? I hope someone flags it. I may or may not agree with some of your points, but there is no need to pepper your argument with gratuitous racism. MS has always been an aggressive company doing some bad things. I'm far from a MS apologist (where were you in 2000? I was in a social squat learning about Linux...), but I'm old enough to give props where props are due regardless of my "religious beliefs". MS docs are still way better than Oracle docs, to mention but one "bad" corp doing "bad" things. That's all there is.
- jasonm23 11y agoNot sure they were being racist, you seem to trigger a bit prematurely. If the CEO happened to be of Bavarian Aristocratic heritage, would pointing that out be racist? Satya Nadella is of the Brahmin caste, there is not one thing racist in noting it.
