Good luck anyone trying to work for Microsoft and I hope no member on this forum did not get a pink slip. I honestly think Microsoft is cutting peoples jobs because of this one reason also right here.

    They are continuing to cut jobs due to their mobile department. In addition if Windows 9 can pick up PC sales that might help them from reducing their work force any lower

    AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA

    This is what happens when Microsoft spends too much money buying a indie dev. Heh all kidding aside sucks people are losing their jobs.

    Given all the global stuff that is happening in the technology sector, this does not surprise me. Maybe adapting to new times and new consumers.

    The problem with MS is they're administrative heavy. Some of that has changed recently, but they are more bureaucracy than software developer. The corporate culture there is a problem. That can't be healthy in the face of needing to be limber enough to not only adapt to disruptive changes in the marketplace but also create them. Given words to define MS, I'd use status quo, not visionary.
