Actually I think the eating your own dog food policy is actually holding Microsoft back as internal products no longer need to compete with external ones which increases developer and project manager myopia around what is and isn't important to end users.
- keithnoizu 13y agoA good example is how similar TFS is to internal product like source depot and has failed to provide many of the features of other version control systems or project management systems. There's more to life than feature parity but really TFS lacks some basic should haves and almost no one realizes this at Microsoft because they've never used any of the alternatives. For a fun time try suggesting the team use Git or an Atlassian product and see how far things get. *this might almost actually work on the entertainment division. Most other divisions probably not.
