--- Quote from: NANDBlog on April 17, 2018, 04:19:52 pm ---Actually this is more electronics: "Microsoft has designed an Arm Linux IoT cloud chip"
But you do realize that Microsoft is supporting the Linux foundation for a long time

I don't know whether people are willing to invest in a platform when Microsoft dropped it without much care last time.

--- End quote ---
That is the problem with Microsoft. They have created a lot of 'new' technologies and then dropped them or made new versions incompatible. Look at Silverlight or Windows CE for example. In general relying on technology (other than the Windows platform) from Microsoft is a very bad idea.

Google does the same with their services..

How many chat apps have they made already, all incompatible with each other?

There are no well supported Microsoft products. Even if you manage to get high up the support hierarchy to product managers you’re fucked. I have spent many years dealing with them on a daily basis and you would be insane to trust them in any capacity to be there when the shit hits the fan.

Every contract you sign is basically Emperor Ming’s wedding vows.

"Support" meaning you can depend on it being there and being updated. Windows is well supported. Exchange is well supported. Office is well supported. There's a not insignificant list of well supported products.

There yes. Updated yes. Working no. Our help desk didn’t like the ten calls a day asking who Al was.

“Reply Al” appeared in office 365 last year for a bit.

Couldn’t get that fixed for 4 months.

And then there’s the old Forefront refusing to receive mail from a domain with DKIM, SPF and DMARC configured properly. 2 months for a support resolution because someone had broken the configuration on our regional cluster.

And the two days downtime when their own consultants fucked up our migration.

That’s just office 365.
