Libs always are like Charlie Brown playing football with Lucy. They always expect to kick the ball and are always surprised the ball is lifted before the kick.
Clintons people dropped the ball here for reference.
Sometimes I think they’d make more money for the shareholders if they did a good job.
Like all these shareholder driven decisions might ruin Microsoft’s brand and lose money long term. Many shareholders are long term and will be left holding the bag if the company goes down the shitter
Yeah the company I have worked for for a long time is growing, this year it has become apparent that some upper dudes have no clue what actually happens and just give direction they dreamed up that they think is how things work.
The next level down is like just ignore that, that’s not how we get things done.
I get that the upper level is supposed to provide long term stragegy,(and some are brilliant minds) but when executive decisions are getting made when they don’t want to hear about the actual detail, there are poor choices made in an arrogant sort of way, and everyone just does an off camera face palm
What I find funny and I realized it a bunch of years ago: whenever consumers have actual choice of an alternative product and aren’t forced into the Microsoft product because of Microsoft’s monopolies, people tend to pick the competition.
Windows Phone: consumers chose Android and iPhone.
Xbox: consumers chose PlayStation and Nintendo.
Handheld gaming PC: Steam Deck.
Chat (MSN, Skype,…): WhatsApp and a plethora of alternatives. (Businesses use Teams because of Office monopoly.)

Business Idiots. The people in charge are too far removed from real users, their products, and any real consequences.
Really should break Microsoft up into tiny pieces.

Whereas Repuglicants are like Lucy. Constantly gaslighting poor Charlie before once again pulling her lame shit.
Someone gets it!
No, just burn it down. Those tiny pieces are still toxic as fuck.
Their users are shareholders, their product is profit, and their consequences are bonuses.

Also, Zune. Haha.
True. Wasn’t meant as a comprehensive list. 😁
Yeah. I figured.
But I also figured adding Zune might give you a laugh.
No offense meant to the folks that made the Zune, either. I’ve worked on products that became joke punchlines, myself, as well.
The really sad part is that the Zune was objectively better than the iPod (at the time at least) and deserved so much more.
