Phew, scary! But it maybe a very real question to ask ourselves. 2027 may be the year when all companies do the same and follow the MSFT model.

Big companies are notoriously overweight and need to trim down continuously. Microsoft is already a big bureaucracy and nothing like the start-up mentality it had throughout the 80's and 90's.

It's fine for them to get rid of excess weight. My guess is they could probably cut a lot more if they wanted.

1/4 becomes a de facto standard, the companies will be expected to follow starting right now.
