The lesson from Microsoft I think is that the fish really does rot from the head. Put another way: who the CEO is really does matter. We have night and day here

The lesson from Microsoft I think is that the fish really does rot from the head. Put another way: who the CEO is really does matter. We have night and day here with Ballmer compared to Nadella. Credit where credit is due: Microsoft has really been doing a lot to try and rebuild their credibility when it comes to the developer community. Off the top of my head I can think of TypeScript, open sourcing .Net, WSL and now this. Oh and they haven't done an Oracle or a Cisco (or, let's face it, a Google at this point) with their acquisition of Github by letting it die on the vine or with hostile forced integrations. Kudos.
