    The devs are the people who, after seeing everything that Microsoft’s done for the past 30+ years, decided to take a job there anyway.

      That’s not a very valid argument.

      First and foremost, most devs probably see it as a job and they do what they’re told. They don’t have the power to refute decisions coming from above.

      Second, in this economy where jobs are scarer than a needle in multiple haystacks, people are desperate to get a job.

      Third, yes, there may be some Microsoft (M$) fan-people who end up being devs at M$. Sure, they may willingly implement the things upper management may request. However, I’m not sure whether that’s true for most of the people who work at M$.

      Your comment suggests to shift the blame to the devs who implement the features that upper management request for. Don’t shoot the (MSN) messenger.
