No not financially yet but they may yet go the way of Sun, and Lotus, etc.

Isn't that what every competitor does? And it is a really annoying statement from him, he should consider making it a strong framework for games and give promotions; I might use one for Batman: Arkham Knight.

Steam has been putting in extra hours making their software irritating, they don't need help from anyone else.
This is the kind of crap executives say when they've gone nothing. What's the last "epic" thing Epic has done? I can't think of one.

Microsoft doesn't want Steam to be buggy and broken; it just doesn't care about the platform that Steam is built on (and forgets that programs such as the Steam Client exist). It's also been badly managing the Windows Store, for that matter. Sweeney mistakes Microsoft incompetence for malice.
If they ever do come up with an evil plot, it will be to turn all games into cloud-based productivity tools hosted on Azure that turn people into corporations who pay consistent hosting fees and keep investors happy.

RUMPEL gives users the ability to browse their very own private and secure 'personal data wardrobe' -- called a HAT (Hub-of-all-Things) -- which collates data about them held on the internet (eg on social media, calendars and their own smartphones, with the possibility of also including shopping, financial and other personal data) and allows them to control, combine and share it in whatever way they wish. Isn't that what Outlook is for?

PowerShell is an automation platform and scripting language for Windows and Windows Server that allows you to simplify the management of your systems. It appears now, though, that Microsoft may be making moves to open sourcing the scripting language. Entirely a coincidence this is happening after Windows gets Bash

The MVVM design pattern has been around for quite a while now. It has a lot of strengths when done correctly. But, I believe the time has come to recognize that MVVM has a lot of shortcomings that point to its demise. Already? I only just learned what the second 'V' was for. Now I'll never learn about that last 'M'

Actually the performance bottleneck he speaks of with Angular is quickly becoming moot as the whole loop thing is being phased out. And not every framework relies on that. Granted, it does increase processing time, but using an MV* framework isn't nearly as bad as this guy makes it out to be. To me it sounds like he's ill-experienced.

From the article:
"It sounds great. And when it works it is. But that’s the main problem, it hardly ever works well."
"You try it on some small application and you get excited. Like a gateway drug, it lures you in. And when you finally go to implement it on some larger application, you find out that it really doesn’t scale all that well."
This describes a lot of things even outside design patterns. Many things which work great on a one-off test with highly dedicated people end up being terrible when applied generally. A big reason is that with the small experiment, everything can be controlled. Things quickly unravel beyond that. (Confirmation bias also plays a huge part--you want it to work and dismiss or ignore the problems.)

What he's really talking about is Angular, and how it handles data binding, and that's a problem for Angular not a problem with the underlying MVVM design pattern. I've been using Kendo UI from Telerik which also uses the MVVM pattern without any problems.
He's found certain issues with how Angular implements MVVM and conflated these to the wider design pattern itself.
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

My thoughts exactly.
Speaking as someone who uses MVVM for desktop applications, I like it a lot. That's not for what Mr. Bush would write off as "religious reasons" but simply because it's the best pattern out there right now. Five or ten years from now, I'm sure we'll all be using something different - that's the nature of the game - but I'm certainly not going to abandon it just because someone's having a few issues with a framework.
Do we know if those issues lie with Angular or just his implementation of it, anyway? Does he just have too many watchers going on at once? I can't really comment as I don't use Angular but if it is such an issue, why is this the first time that I've heard anyone say that Angular doesn't work with MVVM? It's certainly supposed to and many people seem to use it that way.
All in all, a very poorly considered piece and I hereby suggest that we drop HTML and shut down the internet just in case I ever have to read a similar one.

Most MVVM problems can be solved with a Mirror

That guy takes issues with Angular and makes it seem like the pattern is to blame.
I have news for him. It's not. All implementations have issues, but the pattern is not the problem.
He is an idiot that should not be programming.

I had to close that page immediately as there's little chance of him knowing anything meaningful about development.

As the very first line of history is incorrect, I see not much point in progressing further...
"MVVM was originally created by John Gossman to support the XAML syntax used to create Windows™ desktop applications and Silver Light applications."
Should read "MVVM is an adaption of the Model View Presenter pattern, originally documented by Martin Fowler, to the XAML architecture of WPF and Silverlight applications."

Microsoft is facing further legal action over the handling of its free upgrade offer, both at home and abroad. There must be blood in the water: the sharks are circling

This isn't about fairness, but a bunch of lawyers sensing a big pay day for very little up-front effort. Do note that if they get class action status, the customer will get nothing (like a 10% off coupon) while the lawyers will walk away with millions.
(FWIW, I believe that class action lawsuits are unconstitutional. They change individual rights to collective rights and deny the defendant the right to confront its accusers. Plus, it's all about lawyers paying off lawyers.)
