alt Hacker NewsSatya Nadella had built up so much Microsoft goodwill from 2014 - 2022. When they first purchased Github, it looked like Microsoft was opening up and was going good things.
The first sign things were souring was when Microsoft dumped their gaming plans after just buying up all he major studios. First sign they only cared about Azure and AI.
Now it's blatantly obvious they're giving up everything to chase enterprise AI.
Yes, maybe. Although they explicitly promised the opposite some days ago, no?
And there was also that article some days ago that told the story about all the management stupidities at MS from the last years/decades. It was very interesting, and would suggest that this might be yet another very stupid move.
I would just disagree with one detail: With some basic understanding about how human beings work, and how the world works, MS never stopped to be a problematic company. Some were optimistic when they started to open some things up a little, some less so. Are they today more open than they were 20 years ago? Definitely! Was it ever a company that was healthy to depend on? Not a single day imho.
