    Only semi-related: Why do they always show pictures of Gates when he hasn’t been involved in MS in a long time? Why never Satya Nadella?

    EDIT: Also, yes, related to the actual question already living Linux full time and when October rolls around probably gonna back up everything from the Windows side of my dual-boot and wipe the 1TB NVMe Windows is on to use as storage.

      Personally, I think this picture of Steve Balmer is so much more iconic and should be used for every single article about Microsoft or Windows:

      Developers developers developers developers! Developers developers developers developers! Developers developers developers developers! Developers developers developers developers! Developers developers developers developers!

        It’s weird how MS’s putting developers first became a joke. Back in the 80’s, companies like HP and IBM had open warehouses with coders at desks lined up like factory workers. MS was the first big company to give a private office to every programmer.
