Well in this very specific context, it's hard to imagine that Microsoft will be avoiding using GitHub just because it's owned by Microsoft.

- CydeWeys 8y agoFAANG is used very generally to refer to these five companies. It's not just in this specific context. I'm wondering why Microsoft is excluded.
- AlexCoventry 8y agoIf you include MS, you have to also include IBM. FAMAING.
- uiri 8y agoI see Big Four (Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft) more often than FANG although that is obviously confusing on Wall St where that phrase usually refers to the large accounting firms. Apple is excluded because it is a hardware company not a software company although sometimes it is subbed in for one of the others, depending on who is using the phrase.
