- beagle3 8y agoI'm struggling to understand what exactly you are trying to say. I am not denying that whatever is doing is working for them -- though undoubtly, they have been beaten into submission, and they know it. Their more aggressive bullying and anti competitive behavior has worked for them in the past as well. It is not run by stupid people; just ones whose ethics I have problems with. What I was trying to say, in case it wasn't clear is: "I believe Microsoft is inherently the same bully it was; It's just that the world is no longer cooperating with being bullied as much. I don't believe there is a "new" Microsoft".
- TimTheTinker 8y agoI don't think it would have to be run by different people to be a "new" Microsoft, if it exists in a different world. Studies in human behavior have long shown that the same people can act very differently depending on circumstances. Besides, a different person is in charge at the top now.
- beagle3 8y agoI might be misreading, but an implication of your first paragraph is : “and as soon as they are dominant again, they will go back to their old ways” which is what I am saying. Nadella is not Ballmer, I agree.
