I'm very aware of the new Satya MSFT and think it's great. But you can't take away distrust built over years of Microsoft saying "we changed" then committing competition-killing bad-faith practices when they think nobody is watching.

Here's to hoping MSFT is actually different today.

Furthermore part of my calculus is that internal culture matters. Last I checked MSFT's internal culture still doesn't value openness and user trust the way Google or Facebook do, where it's a core company value.

As opposed to what Google repeatedly gets slapped by the EU for doing, Facebook vs SnapChat, etc?

Google and Facebook both only open source code that doesn't endanger their competitiveness.
