back to article What pockets $129m profit a day, starts with M, and rhymes with 'wow, so soft'? Hint: Its cloud is going gangbusters

Microsoft on Wednesday made noise about inclusivity, trust, and sustainability, while also gleefully noting that it had banked about $1.5bn more than expected in its second quarter of its fiscal 2020 year.

    Microsoft going hard on cloud while the abomination they call an "Operating System" causes misery everywhere else! Windows 7 in a network isolated VM on Linux is my final Microsoft OS. Fsck 'em.

      Microsoft going hard on cloud

    Cloud - just another way of saying "we suck more of your personal and private information than anyone else" and we get away with it by calling it a cloud.

    BlackBird for Win10 for the Win... But having used it exclusively to disable nearly all off the "Features" in Windows 10, my PC now no longer works as described!

    Face it - Microsoft, your features "suck" and while you jump on the Google "buzz" wagon your Operating System "sucks" equally as badly. You've got people saying no to "EFS" when every open source system uses it, but of course because they're worried Microsoft's will just encrypt there files with Ransomware and they'll never get the Data back... DRM is what destroyed Microsoft and Apple as a privacy focused OS, the whole concept of Digitally Managing another persons digital access rights, is where all these people just come unstuck!
