Honestly, Microsoft may be full of arseholes, but moves like this at least one sane human works for the company.
It takes balls to admit you fucked up , and this is one employee showing some balls.
Oh please, pull the bar up from underground for Christ sake
That's one way of seeing it. Another is "if we kick them out of 10 and they are not willing to go to 11, they will switch to Linux or go Mac, we'd rather have them on 10 than not at all"
Honestly, Microsoft doesn't give a shit about anyone but enterprise customers. They were probably told to get bent by one too many large companies running fleets of thousands of old embedded systems or call centres packed with old desktops or something.
That carries more self-awareness than one can reasonably imply from vulture-capitalist shareholders.
