Nobody's put more good software into more people's hands than Microsoft. But since the early 2000's, I feel like they've lost their hardcore productivity edge.

Nobody's put more good software into more people's hands than Microsoft. But since the early 2000's, I feel like they've lost their hardcore productivity edge. Their software has become this endless march of shiny things and fads. I rely less and less on their products every day. The old microsoft that didn't mind being hated was a good thing. They relished being the target and they drove competition whenever they didn't succeed in outright squashing it. I can't see how Microsoft can get back to being the big bad enemy again. Maybe they still are that for folks, I dunno, as a software guy, I don't feel them in my life and I haven't for years.
