That was a bold vision. May Vic's legacy rest in peace w/ G+.

Not a stretch. He's the only CEO that could be blamed for it.

Eric let a million products bloom, and Larry was too gutless to make the hard calls.

Sundar gets credit for heeding Wall Street (and his CFO's) call for fiscal responsibility, but the implementation has been poor.

Microsoft as IBM is a horribly outdated take.

Because of MS, they helped me love desktop apps again: VSCode, Outlook, Edge, and the ever so controversial Teams.

Agreed.

Gmail, GDocs, and GAnalytics have been the hardest replace. I can't find a reasonable free alt. to those.

Maybe hard packed snow is a strategy for only flat cities

Seattle infamously tried the hard packed snow strategy about a decade ago, and it turned it into a dangerous (hilly) ice rink

For me, call quality on Meet is absolutely the worst compared w/ Zoom and Teams

Fascinating

How do Europeans keep ice off bike lanes? Salt?
