        I was wondering what MS would look like with a new "boss" and I'm glad they found someone completely different. MS seems better off and we as users could stand to gain improvements as well. Good read, thanks for this.

          I'm a 'softie. I joined the company after Nadella took the helm, but it was also after I had been in the industry (as a field or systems engineer, not developer) for a long time. While we undoubtedly still have some areas where we can be better, I can say without a moment's hesitation that this is the most positive, supportive, incredibly awesome place to work I've ever run across. It took me 20 years to find it, but I finally feel like I have a career, not just a job. When we succeed, we all share in the success. When we do less than our best, no one hesitates to step up and see how we can help out. We're of course encouraged to constantly improve our own personal success, but it's always measured through the lens of how we encouraged or built upon the success of others. Without that teamwork context, your own growth is literally counted less. It's refreshing and has forced me to rethink some long-ingrained habits. I spent the bulk of my career reading about the previous culture here, MiniMSFT, the Justice Department cases, all of it. I walked in here with eyes open. Kool-Aid or not, this does NOT feel like that to me. For me, it's a great place to be. Jon
