I believe it's this way because teams within Microsoft are not working towards the same goals. The Marketing / Business team and Development team have very different goals. This is a classic symptom I see a lot coaching smaller companies, seems like it happens in large companies too.
The Product people understand what makes a great product, but Marketing / Business people need short term fix in order to reach their KPIs, which pressures them to do what they do to the product, fill it up with advertisement. Otherwise marketing people will be out of a job.
There is a disconnect between Product and Business from within Microsoft. This is where Apple still has an edge, I'm not saying apple doesn't have internal conflicts they do, but they resolve it and when they speak they all speak the same message, this IMO is Apple's true strength.
Making the 2 teams work in a cohesive manner will take a lot of effort from the management, having understanding and patience to make Marketing and Product work together in harmony.

- blub 8y agoNadella doesn't know that Windows has ads and spyware-like telemetry? Either he must be using a Mac or Linux, or he's approved these shenanigans himself.
- naikrovek 8y ago> spyware-like telemetry Gonna need a source on that one. Not the "telemetry" part, the "spyware" part. Edit: Because it's possible now to see all telemetry sent and even delete it from Microsoft's servers. I seriously do not see the harm in usage telemetry...
- lawnchair_larry 8y agoNo it isn’t. Microsoft refuses to disclose what is sent as part of the required “security” level telemetry.

- naikrovek 8y agoIf I have an infected file, they can have a copy. I don't mind. Honestly a lot of you must just have piles of questionable stuff you aren't proud of but also somehow can't stop collecting/creating, and you don't want anyone to ever see, because no one else will ever understand or something. Not even my employer, the most risk-averse place I have ever worked, worries about the security telemetry.
- gdfasfklshg4 8y agoEveryone has things they want to keep private. If you disagree I suggest that you film yourself walking down the street naked whilst saying your banking login details. Then post this on YouTube. Don't want to do this? Then you have things you want to be private too.
- vntok 8y agoHow is that action even remotely comparable to MS security telemetry?
- gdfasfklshg4 8y agoHow many people keep backups of photos on their computers? How many of those people have taken nude selfies? How many do banking on their computers?
- naikrovek 8y agoWho keeps their own (or someone else's, for that matter) nude selfies? What fucking planet am I on? If I need to produce one (I have never needed to) then I get naked and take one. I don't keep a stash of naked selfies for retirement.
- hunta2097 8y agoTelemetry, I think most people (given a choice) would opt-out but OK. What I hate are all the dark-patterns, registry keys and obscure processes that you have to locate to perform the opt-out (and even don't clearly know they are disabled). I'm a bit sick of fighting the OS that I purchased to make my life easier. Even published Group Policy seems like an arms race, every time a new Windows 10 release there are a crap-ton of new telemetry settings. And why-oh-why does Windows Server have the XBox client installed? Windows is becoming the weakest part of the Microsoft stack.

- satysin 8y agoI understand what you're saying but it is just a poor excuse IMHO. It has been 3 years since Windows 10 came out, everyone at Microsoft knows it comes with this crap. They want it there.
- emptyfile 8y agoI mean, that great, but I've had Windows 10 for two years and I don't even know what you people are talking about. Never seen anything resembling an ad.
- stedaniels 8y agoI believe you must be an outlier. To get a quick understanding just Google: windows 10 candy crush
