Everyone has a family to feed right? There is no shame in trying to make money.

Satya was super clear on this point - he told us to get out of our offices and go talk to customers and find out what they needed to be successful. "Don't worry about the money - if you are making customers successful, we have smart people that can figure out how to make money".

To the all the engineers in our company - that was music to our ears!

I understand your skepticism but there is a new Microsoft at work here.

Sure thing, I get that.

That's nice to hear from satya btw.

It was just the sentiment of now "feeling bad for MS" is also a bridge too far.

That said, a healthy, fit, "new" MS would be healthy for the whole ecosystem.
