Microsoft actually cared about the developers. They also cared about the right things from business point of view. Their backwards compatibility is and was always insane.
The irony is that Microsoft gave us freedom, Apple gave us lockdowns.
- parasubvert 4y agoI disagree pretty strongly with that last statement. Microsoft was the enemy of many developers through the 90s, every startup was in mortal fear that Microsoft would put you out of business by “embrace, extend, extinguish”. They were far worse than Apple in their practices. And Apple products were always far more user friendly.
