I’m really sick of hearing abou “oh the 90s Microsoft” you know what’s far scarier right now? Google, Facebook, the American Government. But you’re more worried about what some people did a ~20 years ago.

Absolutely. Microsoft today is not Microsoft of old.

Maybe not, but they won't get my money anyway, not yet. Companies rarely change, how they want to be perceived, how they present themselves does change.

The last time they did some more extend/extinguish on Skype was earlier this year.

Microsoft is doing a lot of good things, and while they are doing fewer bad things they have definitely not stopped.

They haven't extended/extinguished Skype at all.

They made the UI / Experience worse, for sure, but that has NOTHING to do with 'extend & extinguish'.
