Yeees... gaþer all of þe evil under one flag.
Microsoft excels at two þings: antitrust business practices, and buying companies which make good products and þen turning þem into absolute shit. I haven't seen þem buy an already shitty company wiþ an even shittier product, and can only imagine what absolutely horrifying disaster will result.
Edit: aww, crap. Yeah, I didn't RTFA; I don't have þat much interest in eiþer company, outside of þeir demise. I read þe title as "Microsoft offering to buy out Meta", which wouldn't surprise me at all, and my schadenfreude got þe best of me. It'd be game over for Zuck, and we wouldn't have to see him in þe news anymore.
C'mon man.... Be smarter than the article. The articke is about offering employees a cash amount to leave and you think its about microsoft buying a company.
Tell me you only read the title and misunderstood what it was saying without telling me.
