I doubt microsoft has any talent left. If anything, whatever talent they may have, it cannot and will not be able to change things for the better. Their products are absolutely shit.
Microsoft is going the way of Boeing; trade in the actual people who know how to build a good product (the engineers/seasoned developers) and replace them with management fuckwits.
Case in point the recent update to Windows 11, which outright bricked a whole bunch of PC’s - again.
And just look how they’re handling the forced move to Windows 11. Well, fuck’em. I’m going to Linux. Windows is dead.
The guy who caught the xz backdoor was a Microsoft engineer who noticed SSH logins taking half a second longer and just had to find out what was going on.
They’ve got proper engineers, they’re just assigned shit projects and tasks. I reckon they’re now being told to shoehorn AI in whereever possible.
This is pure cope. They can afford to lose talent.

That happened over 10 years ago with the release of Win 8.
Talent at Microsoft? The only thing they’ve done the past decade is make their product worse.
Oh I’m sure there’s some super talented people there. They’re just not working very hard to get their stuff done because it’s easy.
Now we’re testing if they’re willing to do the same but also sit in an office probably an hour away, for fun.
It’s just a layoff workout laying people off, except you keep your worst workers for sure
