> "most(more than 80%) of your comments are on [...]" I'm impressed. You really took the time to perform an in-depth study of my submission/comment history, even figured out the 80% stat. Slightly creepy but well-rese

> they may be interested in using the 'most used office suite' again Interesting twist, but I disagree. If anything, startups would be interested in disrupting, not aiding, a staid, old, established player's contraptions.

Huh. I don't follow news about India/AIDS or BTC, but Tesla is a startup IIRC.

I don't follow the Samsung-vs-Apple news, so I don't understand its relevance to the topic at hand.

I cringe at the thought that some people consider this to be startup-relevant news (or even hacker-relevant news, for that matter). I flagged this submission, I hope the usual complainers understand why. If you don't, by all means, ple

Ahem, your post sounds so enthusiastic about a product that has proven to be a dud with consumers, that I'm missing some kind of disclosure from you. Therefore, let me ask you this: are you in any way affiliated with microsoft? As in,

Or perhaps it could just be that we find anything made by microsoft mind-numbingly uninteresting. Just like anything made by SAP, IBM, Oracle, CA and other old-guard tech companies. Seriously, why are there e.g. no SAP employees on HN wonde

I'll take your word for it. But you have to be careful with your enthusiasm, because microsoft and satellites are known for their aggressive astroturfing, and you might sound like a paid shill.

Nokia also ran. See what I did there? I summarized the entire PR exercise in 3 words.

This kind of what's-a-good-word-for-it behavior is what makes me wish upon a star that microsoft would slide into irrelevance already and leave the software industry alone. Oh. I know what a good word for it is: douchey.

> "have been producing some incredibly popular software" Whoa, Koolaid much? I'll stop you right there. You can call your employer's contraptions "ubiquitous". Popular they are not.

microsoft should understand that mobile is a battle they can never win, they should count their blessings and focus entirely on the enterprise side of their business.

> "What comments bother you the most?" Mindless evangelism of proprietary technologies, disguised as an attempt at an insightful comment (microsoft's mvps and evangelists are particularly guilty of this).

To me the problems with microsoft are manifold, and they are not at all related to ballmer's professional competencies, but to his complete lack of ethics, which ends up trickling down through the ranks (see employee infighting/po
