My god, give them a break. Can we get at least one positive article about Microsoft on HN? It doesn't matter what Microsoft does they always get ridiculed for it. Any effort, no matter how good, gets completely obliterated. Microsoft hasn't been the most innovative company lately but they're slowly adjusting their line of products to at least try to get somewhere. Yes, Surface doesn't stand up to iPad, but it's a very solid product nonetheless. Yes, Windows 8 is a big deviation from norm, but it is an innovative move forward that needs a bit more work. Yes, C# and the entire .NET ecosystem isn't as popular as Rails and gets absolutely no love on HN but it is an incredibly powerful environment. For fuck's sake, stop hating Microsoft just to hate it and embrace their efforts to move forward and compete just like you do Google and Apple.
