Microsoft is a fractal of infighting and groups at war with each other.

Cloud Services are cool, and Windows are the weird ones. But within Windows there's the kernel team who are cool and customer-focused, and the User layer as the weird ones. Go another level deeper and you have fights between C++ and .Net, or historically the crusade for COM+. Or the transition to UWP, which clearly at most half the Windows UI team got behind.

It’s true that there are cool groups within the organization but I don’t trust the people above who can guide via budgeting.
