It's businessinsider so you can be sure it's an entire article spun around half a tweet and a daydream of an editor... but,
> a former executive who left as a result of the changes said products like Azure Cognitive Search, Azure AI Bot Service, and Kinect DK are practically gone.
I'm familiar with the first two and... good riddance. These only kept on existing because of marketing money being pumped into selling them to inept nincompoops. These products are exclusively meant for people with purchasing power but zero understanding of turning ideas into actual software.
- bryancoxwell 2y ago> That's according to interviews with several current senior Microsoft executives, former execs, and many rank-and-file employees Not really the same thing as “half a tweet and a daydream of an editor”.

- mc32 2y agoThe problem with this kind of reporting is that we don’t know if it’s a reliable source or someone spouting off but who has no insight, or has an ulterior agenda. This is how narratives work best. You mock something up, give it some gravitas and hope it grows legs. Sometimes you get “the pentagon papers” other times you get a “Steele dossier”… it’s hard to tell the two apart but in retrospect.
