This article nails it...the Worst Part about Working at Microsoft

It's the number of people who doubt us. We suck, we hate OSS, we are evil, we are incompetent.
Thing is, Microsoft isn't a monolith. It's little startups, small groups and big groups. I went there 5 years ago to do open source and I'm doing it. I can't speak for the other gajillion groups but mine doesn't suck and we work hard doing nice things.
It's tiring be to doubted so consistently.
- jcbrand 13y agoOh, you mean the article that claims MS should get credit for the chair I'm sitting on? Uh, ok... Making OSS that only works on the MS stack doesn't really count.
- shanselman 13y agoYa, his article jumped the shark there and went downhill from there, but the essence is there. We dropped the ball on Smart Watches, Tablet PCs, Pens, etc. Agreed on the OSS thing, that's why my group doesn't do that whenever possible.
