Ultimately, they seem to be much more pragmatic under Satyas leadership and that seems to be reflecting on them well. They are a fierce competitor in a variety of domains and are ultimately accountable to the market.I say all of this as someone who has distinctly not been a MS fan over the past two decades.
- tracker1 10y agoAgreed, I've been really happy (Win10 privacy issues aside) with the direction under Sataya than Balmer/Gates... DevDiv is a shining example of cooperative open-source in a lot of ways today. And beyond that, Azure services have been pretty nice to use (if a bit on the pricey side). I'm actually looking at C# via .Net Core again, something I'd been moving away from for about 6 years now. Although that transition has been pretty confusing in a lot of ways. Looks like .Net core 2.x will be pretty ready when it ships, and 1.x is at least usable. Still leaps and bounds better than Java imho. The services surrounding Office 365 have been pretty compelling, and well priced around their competition, it will be interesting to say the least.
