Microsoft's director of identity security is urging customers to do some security house cleaning: deploy multi factor authentication and tighten up permissions on user and vendor accounts. Assuming you have greater than zero trust for them

Just the opposite, they want you to upgrade, so they can be the only ones again (at least for a while)

A PhD-level course, originally provided remotely to Cornell Computer Science students, has now been made available for free to anyone in a self-paced version. Because doesn't everyone want to create an advanced compiler?

Microsoft has invested in Cruise, the General Motors driverless car unit, in a $2 billion funding round that gives the autonomous driving company a $30 billion valuation. So that's what Clippy is doing these days
It was either that or, "It looks like you want to drive to the market. Do you want help with that?" Consider yourself lucky.
Or unlucky if you're seeing this.
I suppose I could have also added that buys a lot of icons.

Survey finds widespread adoption of low-code and no-code approaches. However, IT still needs to be a full partner. You mean there needs to be some code to regulate them?

Hilarious, same crap has been preached for years. In years past it was called 4GL, Visual Programming, etc. Blah, Gahhhh. Poke me in the eye with a stick.

What a load of crap. The Windows Installer mechanism has been an over-engineered, under-documented, and poorly-supported load of garbage since its inception. Its purpose is to support installing Office, SQL Server, and a few other Microsoft products, and that's it.
The notion that all Windows application developers should use it for their applications is absurd. I'll admit it's been several years since I tried it, but at the time it was very difficult to get it to do certain things: install device drivers, services, change global Windows settings, and so on.
I'll continue to use Inno Setup[^], thank you very much.

This plan brings together input from many stakeholders and outlines where and how we intend to invest for the Entity Framework (EF Core) 6.0 release. When one of your 'new' features is, "we'll try to make it as fast as the competition", I think the universe is telling you something

Microsoft is looking forward “to learning, growing, and earning our place in open source.” That should cause a few (more) heads to explode

It's all part of their green power program.
They're trying to get Balmer to stroke out, so they can hook a generator to his body as it spins in the grave.
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?
