  He's not astroturfing, astroturfing requires deception.

    whatever you want to call it, it’s spammy and more than a little desperate.

      Sorry if you find this spammy! It's huge news for us and we all (of course lol) have a vested interest in making sure the company succeeds. Since we don't have Microsoft funding to enable us to throw resources at everything in our backlog, we rely heavily on user experience to help us prioritize. Which just so happens to come up much more organically on sites where devs are more empowered to voice their opinions freely :)

        Nonsense. You have hundreds of employees and a multi-billion dollar valuation, and you keep making the same excuses. I have been watching you folks spam threads, over and over again, for years, with the same things: “we’re fixing performance!”, “making the UI better is a priority!” The user complaints never change. Instead of spamming threads with guerilla marketing, make your software better. What was cute when the company was four guys and a computer now just appears calculated and manipulative.
