I am 90% certain that MS has abandoned its EEE strategy from the nineties.
But the scars from that era are so vivid in my mind, that I feel the need of a confirmation.
- abraae 9y agoWhat do you want confirmation of? That MS is now a gentle, caring beast? Large organizations are not like that, they are money making machines that adopt strategies to maximise profit. EEE is no longer such a strategy, though it worked very well for a long time. Will MS ever go EEE again? In a heartbeat if they felt it would maximise profits. Does that seem likely in the short to medium term? No, the industry is different now, and they have to play nice.
- frik 9y agoLook at "R" programming language, or look at "JavaScript" (-> TypeScript). They still do the EEE strategy. Fool me once...
