seriously? How about Facebook bought Whatsapp and countless acquisition by Google, Apple...etc. Is it fair to single out Microsoft when everyone got shit on by NSA?
I think MS had disregard the enterprise/line of business apps a long time ago. There is no talk about WPF. It's all about apps and mobile. HTML5/JS and not a lot of xaml. I can't find a article or blog about WPF that is written after 2011.
Embrace, extend, extinguish. Justified or not, Microsoft's history makes it hard for me to trust them.
then don't use it. what the fuck does it got to do with embrace, extend, extinguish. Is Microsoft not allowed to offer something similar to what AWS offer?
"That's what Bizspark effectively does, gives you free Visual Studio, other MS software, so when you are profitable, you pay them through the nose, because you are locked into proprietary anti-open-source bait."
Really? The author didn't use any of MS technology. What are you raging about?
"You weren't diligent, and didn't even reach out to Amazon. Instead you went with a shitty competitor and we're supposed to applaud that? What's the moral here?"
Like begging Amazon to wipe their bill because they are start up? MS gave them 3 years of hosting from the get go without begging. Again, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU RAGING ABOUT?
This here is why Hacker News is going down the toilet. Raging against something simply because hey it's Microsoft.
So much butt hurt here...x86 is a low margin commodity with too many companies out there racing to the bottom. I for one applaud to IBM's decision to evolve their business.
