Anyone have an idea why they are catering to developers so much, when their treatment of users in general has become so much worse over the past year?
I mean, I guess, developers are sort of the only demographic which could realistically switch to another operating system, and since they are also users, Microsoft kind of has to make up for the assholish treatment that they've been giving users in general, but it seems still quite extreme, if it's only for that reason.
Could be, though, that I'm just suffering from the usual "All others are more naïve than I am"-syndrome, as I myself am for example still far away from ever wanting anything to do with Microsoft again, and I wasn't really opposed to Microsoft before the Windows 10 shitshow either...
