@david_chisnall h'mmm. While everything he says is credible to me in the context of my understanding of Microsoft's software engineering culture, Rietschin writes like a bullshitter. Mind you, you probably have to learn to write like a bullshitter to rise to senior level there, so it's possible that he knows what he's writing about.

But if that was his first day experience, why did he stay? To go into a burning building to save a trapped child is brave.

To save a billionaire's wallet? Less so.

@david_chisnall also, in this episode he writes:

"...despite the foundations, namely the hypervisor and Windows OS, being robust."

Well, that's an interesting opinion.

@david_chisnall and later in the same piece we encounter the unexplained acronym "OaaS".

"Offline as a Service", at a guess?
