They officially researched and responded to what was going to be a fucking hyped out insane event at most major organizations on easter weekend. The fuck you goes to you, it's not the 90s anymore, Microsoft well and truly have their shit together.

Agreed, 2017 MS is vastly almost inestimably better than 1997 Microsoft. I don't use their products (except vscode/typescript) but I appreciate the work they do anyway since windows botnets etc are an ever present threat to the fabric of services running on the internet.

  How could that be ? I wonder if the retirement of Ballmer has anything to do with it.

    From what I recall they had a huge internal change to focus on security about a decade ago. They really threw resources at it with a top down driven focus to fix their security issues. It worked.

    The turnaround started in 2004, so, not so much.

This is true. They've become vastly better citizens, in terms of their past nastiness and the externalities inflicted on the rest of us, and quite a bit more technically competent since the security push and the end of the Ballmer regime. Still seem abusive towards their customers, but that's most huge software companies, and doesn't bother me concretely, since I'm not one.
