This guy is a world-class asshole, and takes 10,000 words to explain it to us in great detail. His actual complaints about the Microsoft group he was in can be succinctly summarized: . Politics . Lack of Strategic planning . Difficulty executing All reasonable points for nearly any Microsoft group, but I have to wonder why it is he feels such a determination to burn any possible bridges he may have left behind. My own read on Silverlight is actually all strategic problems -- unfortunately a group that could have been working on something like V8 with awesome UI enhancements for metro three years ago spent their time competing with, essentially a dead platform. The major break in architecture with Metro is a gamble, but not a bad one. It's an aggressive, fairly fast gamble from a company that's gotten way too slow over the past five years. I think we'll see better product coming out of MS over the next three years if they can keep this up.
