Unfortunatley like many of the other comments have pointed out. This is incorrect. Most of the military currently uses Teams and O365. The military deal for hololens is going throu…

I think the European acronym, GAFAM, is more applicable. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAFAM

So we’re suggesting a 3rd-party PR firm likely coordinated public criticism about Zoom, an app that was undergoing hyper growth and entered the public consciousness in 2020 due to …

Um, just think of what you're suggesting. At MS some department (marketing, sales, product managers, devs?) somehow coordinated a bunch of press leaks (not sure how these were even…

Reading through these vulnerabilities, it feels like a handful of these are low priority or non-issues. This might be a controversial opinion, but it’s not clear to me why these is…

Wrong, Microsoft’s internal incentives are aligned with GitHub remaining independent and building developer mindshare. The, relatively, minuscule business they get from MPA (No Azu…

This makes no sense to me. An iPhone without a browser? There are a dozen other random apps and features in O365. Is bundling or building of these features prohibited because Micro…

This was an accident. It took a bit to remedy but that was not the intention.

This is called cross-org transfer pricing. It's a common practice in accounting. In fact, imagine a company where this doesn't happen. Retail decides that they can "excessively" us…

100% this. Mermaid is fantastic for the happy path, but as soon as you run into any issues, the lack of flexibility makes it nearly impossible to use (It tames more time to use mer…

That’s definitely not verified. I’ve read that rumor multiple times and each time, it hasn’t happened.

On another note, having listened to James Whittaker talk while at Microsoft, he was a phenomenal storyteller and speaker.

Anecdote, at one of the affected companies and we’ve been wfh. I honestly think my productivity has tanked. That’s the general sentiment for other folks that I’ve talked to, too

Does not surprise me. Just wanted to clarify that the Microsoft donates to X line is a lot more nuanced than the monolithic portrayal by OP So employees donate money to a fund that…

Those are references to Microsoft PAC which is funded by small donations from thousands of employees. Folks sometimes donate small amounts because they can go to events where inter…

It looks like the courses use cognitive toolkit aka CNTK for deep learning. This is sort of the equivalent of watching a class from Google where they use tensorflow or fb where the…

this. so much this. A thousand times this. You have no idea how much it affects you to be in a city that has gray skies for like 3/4 the year. You can go days without seeing the su…

I'm pretty sad about this. Most companies let the product orgs own naming after a legal check, but we let Marketing. They're supposed to do market research on names? You would not …

I totally get where you're coming from, but Outlook is literally Accompli renamed. I see the opposition to Sunrise being folded into the Outlook client (it's not standalone), but T…

Working at the company, and in this division. I'm pretty sure I'm right about this. You should probably look at the titles of these people now. As in, directly reporting to Rajesh,…

It's not really killed. The original Sunrise, Accompli and Wunderlist teams still work at MSFT and they're working on their new apps respectively (Javier runs all of Outlook now). …

Yep, same one.
