Tea became murky. Was it water? Tannins? Milk? Sugar?
- Spivak 5y agoI mean I don’t think it’s wrong to say that MS isn’t a cohesive entity and it makes the branding weird at times. When you have MS as the amalgamation of the success of 100 mostly isolated little divisions which might as well be separate companies then what MS actually does is as murky as what Alphabet does. I think the sanest statement is that MS acts as a big pile of money and shared infrastructure for their “subsidiaries.”
- cwillu 5y agoIt's an odd selection of divisions to make that point though.
