Unfortunately the only thing about MS that doesn't suck is their sales prowess. Delivery and quality are optional, but getting companies to use their stack is not.
This is what so many people miss. Its the same with palantir, salesforce, oracle etc. These companies are masters of contract procurement. It doens't matter if the product is dogshit. It doesn't matter if the engineers are good or bad. It doens't matter if the CEO does a sieg hail, none of that matters. Even if they only sold literal empty boxes, they would still be able to find some corrupt fuck willing to buy 500 million of them for a kickback. The product is completely irrelevant, because the real "product" these companies offer is the ability to farm connections with the wealthy and powerful
