I’ve been a Microsoft developer, admin and architect for 30 years as well as a director of a gold partner and probably directly put tens of millions of dollars of revenue in their direction.
Hell I even have met Bill back in the early 90s on a couple of occasions and got some books signed.
I’ve also been on the end of having products pulled from under me causing massive rewrites of stable LOB applications, on the end of audits and bugs that are so abhorrent that their own internal division heads got involved at the time.
What’s worst is I burned possibly tens of years of human lives on things which were directly their fault through absolute incompetence and negligence towards their customers or burning their entire roadmap for something new and shiny.
So quite frankly I think I’m fairly qualified to tear them a new one when I see fit.
Edit: as always I notice that the moment the US wakes up any critical posts about MSFT magically start plummeting. Reputation that important? Earn it!
