> Plus employees will have to opt in? If a company policy says you have to opt in, not opting in means you're breaching the policy and might get fired. Entirely legal in at-will employment places, but potentially not in places with better worker protections. Saying that, I just got announcement from my employer they will not be turning it on for now.

        > More and more every day. That's not a bad thing. But I think its totally unrealistic and impractical to deal with this kind of thing by being so choosy that you won't work for an org that uses Microsoft. Actually acting that way probably just means choosing to be unemployed (for the vast majority, at least).

      Honestly I don’t know. Pretty comfortable where I’m now and we would never even consider using any M$ products ever. I know US culture is more about job-hopping every other year but I’m at the same place for many years now

      My large corp is moving to Google from MS, which doesn’t impact me much (I’m contracted out to another large corp) but I really wonder at the expense (in time) of a migration. What a huge drain on resources in the short term.
