I was wondering what MS would look like with a new "boss" and I'm glad they found someone completely different. MS seems better off and we as users could stand to gain improvements as well.
Good read, thanks for this.

I'm a 'softie. I joined the company after Nadella took the helm, but it was also after I had been in the industry (as a field or systems engineer, not developer) for a long time. While we undoubtedly still have some areas where we can be better, I can say without a moment's hesitation that this is the most positive, supportive, incredibly awesome place to work I've ever run across. It took me 20 years to find it, but I finally feel like I have a career, not just a job. When we succeed, we all share in the success. When we do less than our best, no one hesitates to step up and see how we can help out. We're of course encouraged to constantly improve our own personal success, but it's always measured through the lens of how we encouraged or built upon the success of others. Without that teamwork context, your own growth is literally counted less. It's refreshing and has forced me to rethink some long-ingrained habits.
I spent the bulk of my career reading about the previous culture here, MiniMSFT, the Justice Department cases, all of it. I walked in here with eyes open. Kool-Aid or not, this does NOT feel like that to me. For me, it's a great place to be.

Hackers compromised free CCleaner software, Avast's Piriform says[^]
Quote: It said the server was closed down on Sept. 15 "before any known harm was done".
Before any known harm was done? Are you serious?
CCleaner is one of my favorites! Fortunately I am running version 5.34.XXX which is later then the compromised version 5.33.

Now how am I going to clean my registry?
Oh, right. I don't. Ever.

Open RegEdit. Look for a couple of old hives. Select. Delete. Wait for bluescreen. Redo Windows. Easy Peasy.

I'm considering opening a Bar / Casino called "Moderation".
That way, I get free advertising: "Drink in Moderation!" "Gamble in Moderation!"
Heck, "Everything in Moderation" ... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

... including moderation? Or will you have that in excess?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Being a developer, you should've opened this[^] bar.

I think this is quite a moderate idea. You could then sell mild drinks.

Nagy will be moderately impressed. 🍸

This is moderately true.

Locally there is a small private Nazarene university. The closest bar to campus is named "The Library".

There is a pub not that far away, called The Other Place[^]

Even "Visit us in Moderation" would work out...
