They're just making themselves look trashy and desperate.
What might work is making their software better than everyone else's. But that requires effort and skill and managerial competence.
All of whom Microsoft doesnt posses.
I bet they still have some good devs who are continually thwarted by management.
Ye, ofc. Just let the good devs cook!
Yeah the Power Toys devs seem solid
I mean they're exclusively writing tools for power users for eventual implementation to mainline as they develop and test simplification that doesn't alienate the power user.... So managers can't really say they're doing anything bad or dumb ever because it's power user features then porting.
