    If microsoft stopped producing anything today, they would still make billions per year for many years

      They would, but eventually their competition will overtake them and they will start losing customers and market share. They have to innovate at least a little bit if they wish to stay in the dominant market position that they are in.

        Disagree. All they need is a small army of marketers to keep convincing executive idiots they need to have MS Office 365.

    To the 9,000, don’t go back if they ask you to. Seriously.

      Nah as far as I’m aware the CEO is not resigning and there are no leadership changes. They’re mostly laying off artists from game studios, software QA, testers, devs they think they can replace with AI vibe coding etc.

        The way Microsoft products feel they really can.

      That would be the C-suite.
