I was thinking the same. I spent many of the formative years of my career (late-80's, most of the 90's) HATING microsoft but to see them now and all the relatively "open" stuff that they not only embrace but can't really extinguish is refreshing. I think some of that attitude put Satya in place, but he's run with the ball under the same ethos.
- mrmonkeyman 6y agoWhy is everyone so dense or should I say naive? Microsoft is pulling the classic embrace, extinguish card. It is the exact same fckng process all over again and you are all falling for it. It'll just take a decade or so. Just wait.
- beagle3 6y agoThey only open that which they have no advantage in. Operating system is as closed (and as hostile) as ever, so is office and sqlserver. Xbox requires an always on connection. It is their right, of course. But I don’t buy the “new Microsoft” ethos.
