I heard the Acquired podcast episode on Microsoft, and I can’t pretend that their business strategies failed; they didn’t, and arguably it is the most successful company in history. I have a lot of respect for the business side.
And the things that rub me the wrong way are part of their success, e.g. embedding WWW into the OS early on.
The main reason I can’t work for them is their Vogon aesthetics. They’re like a square pair of shoes: not meant for you.
Yeah, Microsoft is a big place.
