I couldn't agree with you more. I was thoroughly in the "screw Microsoft" camp until about 2018, when I thought they were on the way to redeeming themselves.

I couldn't agree with you more. I was thoroughly in the "screw Microsoft" camp until about 2018, when I thought they were on the way to redeeming themselves. Unfortunately they've continued their prior "hatefully corporate ++" behavior. I bestow this term on companies like Oracle & SCO (remember them?). At this stage in my career, I have regularly been in a position to send a significant portion of comapny expenditure toward Microsoft. I won't be in future, and when I reach CTO/CIO I will continue to advocate for more open and fair solutions for my company.
