This is the Microsoft I want to see
People sometimes ask me why I dislike Microsoft. The answer is simple: I don’t - I’ve just been disappointed with much of what it has done in the past decade.
This disappointment stems from the 1990s, when I was a big fan of many Microsoft products (and incidentally, could not stand Apple products). But over the past ten years, I’ve slowly transitioned away from almost everything made by the company. It’s not what I set out to do, it’s just happened that way because better products have come along - products not made by Microsoft.
And it’s frustrating, because with billions of dollars spent each year in research and development, it’s not like the company doesn’t have the means to innovate and make great products. So what does it lack? The vision? Well, if the video below is any indication, no.
