"We're entering FY26 with clear priorities in security, quality, and AI transformation, building on our momentum and grounded in our mission and growth-mindset culture," Hood wrote, mentioning Nadella's email. "Both the pace of change and customer expectations are continuously accelerating."

Hood's email, notably, didn't mention Microsoft's recent workforce cuts, which have exceeded 10,000 this year even as profit swells. Nadella's email last week attempted to explain this "seeming incongruence" as the "enigma of success." Some employees weren't satisfied with the explanation.

These people get paid so much for spouting this utter bullshit every day. I hope they have moments when they realize the hollowness of what they do.

customer expectations are continuously accelerating

Just make a functional OS that doesn't get in user's ways. Those are the expectations.

Microsoft doesn't expect growth in their OS offerings. These days all their focus is on AI and cloud.
