You know this article is bullshit when they don't mention xbox exclusives in their illustrations

That's clearly a pro-microsoft PoV doing a subjective analysis of the situation

I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone claim that Ben Thompson had an MS bias.

I’d say he admires their strategy/business model clarity post-Nadella, both in Office/services over Windows and Xbox subscriptions. He also worked there in the past and it comes through he cares more about MSFT than your average worker in tech, but agree I don’t think it rises to level of bias. More like: I almost never think of MSFT (despite using Outlook daily) and Ben does daily.

He also worked for Apple.

But if you compare Microsoft’s model to let’s say Google’s non existent strategy, the difference is night and day. Google has the strategy and focus of a crack addled flea. Nadella came in with a vision and executed perfectly.
