Also, the company seems to follow other innovators these days (in several areas) instead of leading.
One Microsoft means One Microsoft: abolish technical interviews for internal transfers, and do not tie promotion prospects to length on a specific team. Also, let us come up with the products of the future (HoloLens, Xbox, Azure, etc.) instead of trying hard to imitate things we will probably not catch up on in a timely manner (e.g., phones, fitness trackers, etc.).
