I've heard bad things about working at Microsoft. Perhaps from people masquerading as (ex)employees, though I suspect not. I do use TS, and it's enabled me to have a bit more peace of mind than I might otherwise have. It's also totally wrecked projects before (Loopback + TS = "as any" * 1000). In any case, the sun could shine out Microsofts ass and I'd still be skeptical of them. Windows has an abhorrent amount of code smell to it, and (as stated) I haven't heard good things about working there. Really would rather they weren't any more of a mega corp than they already are. Really don't trust them. But TS is nice.

I loved working there. The people are amazing and I made many great friends. But I was an engineer and not involved in business decisions. To me, making file formats hard to parse to the detriment of your users for business strategic advantage is smart business but wrong. I don’t want to judge people from the 90s by today’s standards, and maybe Microsoft brass really have changed their tune, but maybe they have some secret Ulterior plan, like in the past.
