I appreciate the insights, and respect OP's point of view, but some of these "takes" are extremely dichotomous.

Really? Absolutely nothing at all about Microsoft's culture/business practices is "particularly admirable" to OP?

Not sure why you're downvoted here, this is a very fair concern. Microsoft is as impressive as it gets - they've been around for over 40 years, and are still extremely relevant. Tech has a graveyard full of impressive companies that no longer exist - Google and Facebook are sitting on campuses of two such examples. Whatever Microsoft is or isn't doing admirably, they've stuck and that itself is impressive in this industry.
