So, taking into account they are one of the largest publicly traded companies in the world, what could they do to start earning your trust?

If the answer is nothing, then logically they should disregard you and carry on.

I’d say another 15 years of no bad behavior, minimum.

The web in particular is still traumatized from years of IE use/development. You needed a virtual machine to test IE on linux/Mac, think about that for a second. It’s great that they realize ‘woah we didn’t give a flying fuck about developers before, huh?’

We’re still being super nice to Microsoft that we don’t give them a pure cold shoulder and accept and evaluate their contributions.

Need time, can’t just go running back to the ex because they bought you something expensive.

I don't think he's proposing that we politely ask microsoft to quit being exploitative.
