Thanks James..
There was a time many of us went all in on MSFT. Back in 1990 and for 10 years, MFST was the ship to be on.
But then, their arrogance allowed them to totally miss the cell phone world, plus they split their own desktop into UWP and WPF. Windows 8 turned the desktop into a cellphone like layout and SYS32 was deemed dead. Then they killed Silverlight and denied WPF dead rumors for 10 years.

Bottom line... MSFT has great track record of throwing their adopters dev community over the sides of the shipin the middle of the sea. Don't trust them implicitly and realize they've lost the browser wars.
