I am not sure I agree with the sentiment. Maybe their management is better on this one issue of remote work. But Microsoft’s competency in terms of their financial results is not deserved. They still do all the things they did in the 90s that got them into trouble. Look at the bundling of Teams and Office. Or forced ads in start menus. Or rampant use of dark patterns to get you to use their products. Or the lack of security updates for Windows 10 starting next year, which will force people into Windows 11 and privacy/security violating Recall. A lot of the financial success we’re seeing is Microsoft taking existing enterprise contracts and using them to push new things onto companies repeatedly, as a way to make money. In other words, their existing capital and distribution and captive audience is why they see success, not their “competent management”.
