Too little, too late. After 30+ years of windows as a user 20+ as a developer I'm done. Aside from some infrequent gaming (and even that could largely be de-windowed) you've lost me completely. Your developer experience got _so good_ there for a while I was willing to put up with a lot of churn and dead-end tech. VB was so accessible, and .NET 2 (and then 4.x) framework was a great foundation. I even liked your phone OS! But then the personality split within MS seemed to grow. To over-simplify developers still seemed appreciated but consumers appeared outright hated, viewed as cattle to slaughter for immediate & personal gains. Then your technology story fragmented and got weirdly disjointed. Azure initially looked great as a platform when everyone else focused on lower-level infrastructure, but you couldn't get that right, and then inexplictably decided to build all sorts of wild niche products (services? platforms?) on top of it, often multiple versions. Meanwhile windows was allowed to become... I don't really know, a fast-food/slot machine/1986 telescreen embedded in my home and work? And to top it off the few places you moved towards others (WSL, terminal, .NET core) you helped give me the tools to get OFF of windows. In hindsight I'd say the future became clear when I learned about how SQL Server was reimplemented on Linux for Azure. This was an important, concrete demonstration how if something like SQL Server didn't need Windows, nothing did.
