What other cool stuff can &quot;management, strategy, and customer satisfaction cadres&quot; even do? And if just because &quot;management, strategy, and customer satisfaction cadres&quot; is not doing &quot;supercool stuff&quot; (whatever it means), the company should focus on R&amp;D, then the vast majority of companies should cease to exist. Like it or not, companies are here to make money.<p>Saying MS should reinvent itself to be a R&amp;D company is like saying Toyota should stop making cars because their normal cars aren&#x27;t running by water, auto driven, and charged by solar panels yet. Ya, what&#x27;s the point? Use your money to research on energy, AI and what not. Never mind where that money comes from.<p>When I read these absurd statements I think the author is either trolling, has an agenda, or is living in a bubble.
