I’m sorry but you are incredibly ignorant. There’s a huge focus on customer feedback and “customer obsession” in the company now. And that’s coming from Satya himself. I’m sure what are talking about was true in the past (and it seems like you experienced a lot) but things really have changed - not completely of course, Microsoft is so huge that it’ll take a while.

You should just ask some people who work there;)

Given the loud backlash against Microsoft's telemetry practices and MS's doubling down, I couldn't agree less.

The ad hominem was uncalled for.

Why does no one listen to customers then?

Ignored on privacy.

Ignored on bugs.

Ignored on product direction.

That's not feedback or customer obsession, that's lip service. And we pay for the software so we can only vote with our feet and on the way help other people to avoid the same pitfalls.
