    It blows my mind that on Linux I can pin the taskbar to the left side and it works out of the box. Windows, aside from somehow losing that basic functionality, won't even install because it requires an internet connection and doesn't even have drivers to use my wifi or Ethernet that the installer can use.

    Microsoft is such an unmitigated disaster. The stock is doing fine now, but in a decade Nadella is going to be remembered like Jack Welch—a CEO who corroded the company from the inside trying to chase quarterly numbers.

      And leave PMs who personally specialize in people-management and product design to be the backstop for reported product QA.

      would be fun to see an AI who take care of another AI who write a code
