It’s hard for me to be gung ho about their amazing tooling and open-source support, when there’s all this happening.
But I see some hope. Edge is the absolute worst offender in MS camp. Followed by Microsoft 365 and Windows, to a much lesser degree.
They have a brilliant leader at the helm. Nadella is very underrated - others not taking him seriously might have helped them. Funding OpenAI with $10B worth of cash + Azure credits was an incredible bet. Killing the Windows monopoly approach was another one. Buying GitHub and LinkedIn and not screwing them up deserves praise (LinkedIn is another offender of using aggressive tactics to sell).
Long story short, companies are operated by leaders in different divisions. They have a significant level of autonomy. Some of them might be taking the lowly approach to hit their aggressive targets, but it doesn’t seem systemic. I’ve never ever received spam from GitHub.

Lol @ killing the windows monopoly approach statement inside the comments of an article about Microsoft's continued attempt to monopolize. Truly mind boggling
