i'm speaking on behalf of myself. While yes, this was true back in then day, that is very much not the philosophy nowadays. it's a different company with different leadership than those days.

Speaking as an ex-MSFT employee who was there during the "new leadership" transition, the new leadership is not any less sociopathic than the old one. I'll give you that Satya is more charismatic so he can hide it better than Ballmer, but that only makes it worse.
