What do you like the most about Microsoft?

[ML10]

They listen to the consumer. They are honest, and pretty generous too (tech preview). I believe that they can come back swinging. And I hope they do it HARD.

[Manish Sirvi]

Yeah they really want to invent and innovate the world. They really have the spirit of doing the good , that makes it different than others.

I like the history of the company.
How it started with a bucket of pennies into a massive corporate entity that can hemorrhage money without a second thought.

Microsoft is offering interoperability in their products in services in a time when Apple and Google are being petty and closed-minded. Apple watches only work on iPhones. Google apps won't work for Microsoft products, etc. It is an amazing difference from the days when Microsoft was the bully in the late 90s.

Good: Microsoft is a technology company (unlike the others in the same markets).
Bad: Constantly repeating terrible marketing decisions and general all-round sluggishness.​
