Aren't that great?
Making Windows work across the diversity of hardware it does, in basically every language, is impressive to me. Azure seems to work pretty impressively at scale, Xbox is no slouch, and Bing is the only credible alternative to Google.
Office is everywhere, Email is done at scale, OneDrive is simple and effective, again at scale.
Or we can look at the deep levels of Enterprise integrations (Active Directory, SQL Server, Group Policies et al)
Or what about development tools like Visual Studio, languages like C++ or C#, or a bunch of other stuff in that lin
I get the "Microsoft is evil" mantra from the Open Source community, and thats certainly well deserved. They're far from perfect, their business practices in the past have been down right bad, but I'm not sure their Engineering is the area I'd fault them for.
