Thanks for the insights. I would like to hang around for a few months at Microsoft just to see how such a big organisation (dis)functions. I really enjoy using MS tools for development, always had as I discovered C64 BASIC was made by them and I was a C# developer for about ten years (if I'm allowed to forget about WebForms). All of the other stuff I don't really care about anymore. I'm fine using Numbers and Pages or LibreOffice and macOS replaces Windows since I'm not a gamer and not doing any non-cross platform C# / F# development anymore.

> I would like to hang around for a few months at Microsoft just to see how such a big organisation (dis)functions. Put in a job application. The company has always been hiring. Judging by the fact they employed me right after uni I guess they’ll hire anyone who can explain mergesort on a whiteboard. ——— I believe we’re witnessing the slow death of Windows into irrelevance, the same way mainframes and minicomputers aren’t relevant today, the way most “apps” for business are just public web-apps or Electron distros - Windows is just another fungible host for Chrome.exe.
