Back in the day I disliked MS because I've felt they tried to lock people down and because some of their products I've felt were subpar.

Now I mostly like them.

I use Windows 10 and I think is nice. I use Edge on Android because it has built in Ad Block and I find it rather nice.

I do like Github.

I love Visual Studio which has made my life easier.

I enjoy using Visual Studio Code.

I do enjoy greatly working with .NET Core.

Sometimes I use Bing when Google annoys me too much, and that is often.




I like all of these products as well. Well not Bing, but yeah.

That’s just it though. Microsoft kind of has the luxury to solely focus on their paying clients. They only have to consider their needs.

Google (and Facebook) have to juggle the needs of advertisers and users. That’s why cloud is so important for them. They really need to lower their reliance on ad revenue.

That would be great.


I use Bing, it has never been an issue. If I can't find it on Bing, Google can't find it either.
