#12The laat comment is a person pretending to be a maintainer of Microsoft. I have a gut feeling that these kind of people will only increase, and we'll have vibe engineers scouring popular repositories to ""contribute"" (note that the suggested fix is vague). I completely understand why some projects are in whitelist-contributors-only mode. It's becoming a mess.
Some were already that and even more, because of other reasons. The Cathedral model, described in "The Cathedral and the Bazaar".

That repo alone has 1.1k open pull requests, madness.

#14Is it just me or is Microsoft really phoning it in recently?
Recently? They've been shipping absolute trash for 15 years, and still haven't reached the bottom apparently.
Azure keeps randomly breaking our resources without any service health notifications or heads up, it's very fun living in microsofts world.

#15Why would you report this?!
A second time. When they already closed your first issue. Just enjoy the free ride.

#16Nothing compared to pirated CDs with Office and Windows, 20 yrs back.
They don't care, they would rather let you use pirated MS software than move to Linux. There is a repo on GH with powershell scripts for activating windows/office and they let it sit there. Just checked, repo has 165K stars.
This could be the same, they know devs mostly prefer to use cursor and/or claude than copilot.

To be fair, Windows 7 was quite good in my opinion. Wait, what year is it?
windows 2000 server and windows 2003 server were their last great desktop OSs

The UI can't even be bothered to show the number of open issues, 5K+ :)
Then they "fix it" by making issues auto-close after 1 week of inactivity, meanwhile PRs submitted 10 years ago remains open.

No where in the comment do they assert they are work for Microsoft.
This is a peer-review.
