Comments on: Is Microsoft Still Evil? http://mehmetalierturk.com/2009/04/17/is-microsoft-still-evil/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=is-microsoft-still-evil Innovation is the ability to see change as an opportunity, not a threat Sat, 21 Apr 2012 09:12:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Mehmet Ali Ertürk http://mehmetalierturk.com/2009/04/17/is-microsoft-still-evil/#comment-159 Mehmet Ali Ertürk Fri, 17 Apr 2009 19:02:19 +0000 http://www.mehmetalierturk.com/?p=761#comment-159 Michael, I have nothing with Microsoft employees and Microsoft itself personally. But, I don’t see the feature at Microsoft. Internet based applications and open source changed the way computing and I think Microsoft got it too late and now taking actions to regain its reputation. I know some Microsoft executives claimed about new Microsoft search engine will beat Google several years ago. When Live.com launched, I thought it is the killer search engine Microsoft executive has mentioned in the past but it didn’t happen and Microsoft tried to buy Yahoo for search and it didn’t too. I can find many examples like that. As, I said I have nothing with you and other Microsoft workers. I hope, someday, Microsoftwill come up a new technology that will blow my mind and then, I can give a chance to Microsoft. Thanks, Mehmet Ali Michael,

Before I joined, one of my friends who was already at Microsoft said to me that the hardest part about the job was that some people _HATE_ the company and no matter what you do, you cannot change their opinion. I took that to heart and joined the company anyways - and I haven't looked back. In my time at Microsoft, I have not met any "evil" people - some misdirected, but I have met many intelligent people, innovative researchers, and tons of passionate individuals. Microsoft is just a company - a thing - an entity. People can be evil, not things. Please give Microsoft and the people who work for it a second chance - and feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions, ideas, or suggestions. Thanks, Michael S.
