Every time there is a post about Microsoft, this is the obligatory response. I understand that being such a huge company makes it difficult to change, but from the inside it's very exciting seeing all of the new innovations coming out. Microsoft is certainly no longer resting on the success of Windows but is actually trying to make cool, useful products and shaking things up.

I keep hearing similar sentiments from friends associated with Microsoft, and I love my Windows Phone, but there needs to be a better response to the trolls than just 'this is getting old'.

Microsoft only has themselves to blame for the public perception of them. They did such a horrible job at marketing for so long, that people got really bored with them.

Sadly, though the products are great, the marketing is still boring.

You know what is cool and hip? Having something meaningful to say and keeping a open mind. If a company is taking a step in the right direction, learn to appreciate it regardless of its past mistakes.

A tired old anti-MS meme trying to look cool and hip. YAWN.
