MS is doing good in my book. They should keep it up. Eventually people will start giving them a chance again.

- DoofusOfDeath 10y agoThe problem is that MS has such an amazing record of strategic underhandedness, it would take many years of consistently good behavior for me to trust their intentions. By the way, exactly _which_ of their patents do they claim Linux violates, and exactly what data are they collecting from Windows 10 boxes?
- 0xCMP 10y agoYep very true. I'm a little dogmatic about too. I haven't even installed VS Code even though I know it's supposed to be pretty good. Burned too hard plus looking at what they did to others before me makes a pattern that is hard to ignore.
- bitcrazed 10y agoTo be fair, VSCode is open source so you could go look if you were interested: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode
- oxide 10y agoIt's always one step forward, two steps back with Microsoft. Every time I start to warm up to them again, they make me feel stupid shortly afterwards by blowing it. It's an abusive relationship, in a sense.
- 0xCMP 10y agoWe all have our stories. MS has done a number on me.
- daveguy 10y agoI think they are less doing good and more scared shitless that they put off a huge swath of computer savvy users with their forced upgrades and mandatory tracking. The nuggets they throw to the dev/unix communities are smoke and mirrors. Strategic pleas of "please don't abandon our creaky ship!"
