> What nobody is really commenting on is how huge of an opportunity this is for Microsoft to reinvent itself in the eyes of the developer community. My opinion of Microsoft isn't based on whether or not it owns Github. My opinion is based on other aspects of their behavior, such as: - Do they force mainstream Windows users to provide telemetry data to Microsoft? - Do they threaten Android developers with lawsuits regarding violation of unspecified patents? - Do they use OS upgrades as an opportunity to reset opt-out telemetry gathering. - Have they recently used dark UI patterns to trick users into installing Windows 10? - Do they make telemetry collection opt-out (and non-obvious) for the .net CLI tools? Any meaningful reinvention of Microsoft would involve (1) stopping those kinds of behaviors, and (2) making a compelling, public argument for why we should never expect those behaviors again from Microsoft.
