 Hi Hans --

:)

I suppose I haven't used any "ad hominem attacks" here - if you suppose I did please point where have I done that.

Don't take that as a ad hominem/personal attack but your reference to the article we can't agree is it fake or real (it doesn't matter for this statement) looks like a "Slippery Slop" argument from here  ;)

"Microsoft is in trouble: MS Windows servers market share shrinks, MS Windows servers aren't that stable as modern Linux ones are... and they (MS) also do not listen to their own devs and they have big troubles in (high) level management - see this article from MS insider - so Microsoft and MS Windows must die..."

Thank you.

-- Shamil

>>> Anyways, seems plausible to me because we've all been in this business for a while and we all know how businesses tend to cut corners and have a different set of priorities than developers do, etc etc. We often complain about it here. It should be no surprise the same applies to Microsoft as much as it does to any other company, tech or not.
