Default "You don't matter to Microsoft and neither do I."

It doesn't sound good for us ...

"Make no mistake: this isn't an arrogance born out of a belief that it
retains a monopoly
on the desktop, the Office productivity suite, or the server market. It
is a wholesale shift
in approach in recognition of its loss of monopoly.

You don't matter to Microsoft and neither do I. We've known all known
this for ages,
but Microsoft has finally decided that they aren't going to even bother
to fake it anymore.
Now is the time for those of us who don't live "at scale" – and with
budgets to match – to
start looking farther afield, before we move from "customer" to
"hostage". "®
