&gt; <i>some of microsoft&#x27;s behavior has changed and some will remain the same</i><p>That&#x27;s the exact argument I was making. The analogy doesn&#x27;t work because this is, literally, a new Microsoft. It has new leadership. You can&#x27;t use the past as a benchmark for how this company will behave because no one <i>really</i> knows what parts of the company&#x27;s behavior and culture have changed and what parts haven&#x27;t.
