And I really hope it stays that way. I have rejected jobs because they use Microsoft tools.
I dislike the Soviet-like brutalism of Windows and all the bloated software built on top of it. Interoperability is mostly non-existent and if it exists, is limited. Sames goes for configurability. That limits the amount of automation you can achieve.
You have absurd nonsense like software taking 1 hour to install (Visual Studio). That is unheard of in any other OS unless you are recompiling everything on your machine, which is optional.
Since everything is proprietary and closed source, if some dependency is discontinued you are on your own. And this happens often with Microsoft's own APIs.
On top of that, now you have all the telemetry fiasco, ads and nagware integrated directly in the OS.
Good job acting in your own self interest. Here's another great idea as good as investing on Microsoft: invest in a patent troll, or tobacco products for kids.
