The funny thing was they could have done the adaptation--instead of doing it they just presumed devs would transition. They were also done with the android-apps-on-windowsphone project but dumped it because PC marketplace managers got mad a

Definitely not the same OS as Desktop windows 10. It might run all the same apps, however.

Anyone with a cursory knowledge of warren knows her lengthy history with advocating for consumer rights. I mean, you seem to be trolling and engaging in bad faith. A look at a Wikipedia page would suggest your initial comment was ludicrou

Last time you used a service backed by a service run likely by oracle? Multitudes of times this week.

I arrived at work at msft nearly every day by 730 for the first five years. By the end of year six I was puking in the garage thrice weekly at 9 am due to years of chronic stress, lack of sleep, and caffeine use. It’s taken me about a year

I mostly view this as the turn from SDET to Quality. SDET used to do both telemetry and quality testing, coordinating with devs frequently. Now Quality mostly coordinates with PMs. Satya as Azure head had success via this method, so it&#

Wand is great. Thought their latest album was from a different band because it's so different than the random freebie I got from my local record store (their Golem record, it was bent)

certainly in Azure; I've also seen very big efforts towards privacy as the direct result of GDPR. Windows, I'm much less confident.

I believe so, but again I'm just one person and not privy to all data.

They erased the Software Developer in Test role, and moved to a 'Quality' role. The 'Quality' role implements Telemetry for the working product which turns into metrics that PMs/Dev Managers look at to determine shi

biggest negative I would say is getting rid of the SDET role and moving them into Telemetry. It moved the onus of testing on Devs who've never done it before as part of their job and thusly very lacking. The bungled W10 recent release

Additionally, this was the biggest selling point of Windows Phone. It died, and so did the Security/privacy mindset.

Most of the initiatives Satya has gotten credit for were started under Ballmer. Some of the worst moves I've seen regarding current MSFT internal culture were direct results of Satya Source: Me, at MSFT before Ballmer left and still t

Correct. I live in Renton, which is very far and terrible drive to redmond 6:15-10 am and from redmond 2pm-6:30pm. They might have a marketing area, but I haven't seen it in the downtown area.

Agreed. I wish I could have spent more time with my parents when they were younger. At least they were able to retire early and we're making up for it in adventures nowadays.

That's a good assessment. I think my difficulty stemmed more from knowing that my Father could extract quite a bit from the text--especially since he is the son of a pastor/read the KJB at age 4 and could quote scripture to me se
