Ah yes, this comment was bound to appear. As it always does when we find out that the people running Windows do something that's not a good idea.
They are more open with their development division, as they have to be. Windows is a completely different division, and more often than not, the notable members of the development division will call out their company.
Except they are not separate divisions. There are no subsidiary companies for Windows or Development, yet there are for Xbox, Mobile, Games and others.
Windows and development are subject to the same executive team, and same orders from the top setting corporate direction.
It was precisely that break-up that was ordered by the US court during the anti-trust case, and stopped with the arrival of the Bush administration.
Eventually all divisions roll up to the same executive team. The level at which Windows and the people responsible for this decision meet is far above where the decision is or was made.
Mobile and XBOX aren't subsidiary companies. Mobile rolls up closer to Windows than the browser team does which led to the mess that is UWP and the Windows 8 (and on) start menu.
I find I don't really care how Microsoft likes to divide up its stuff internally. Either this kind of nonsense is supported by the company or it isn't.
Good for you if this stance helps you. But ultimately the world is more complex.
Do you judge a given country population by the act of their leader? Because you have no reason to care how a given country divide its stuff. If a country does something that must mean that everyone in this country support this thing right?
If people act malevolently, encouraged by the leader of the country, then that leader is bad, and the country is bad because of that leader (and their associates who could stop the malevolence).
It doesn't matter that in some small corner of the country there's a grandad baking cupcakes for orphans, the country isn't saved from the malevolence (or ignorance) of their leaders by that.
You can give countries aid to convince them you're nice; but if your leadership is countenancing selling armaments to the Saudis -- knowing they're using them against civilians -- then they're corrupt.
All companies who want to do some evil for profit also take part in window dressing, it salves their own consciences and acts as PR.
Countries do not get to choose who their citizens are (and the ones we do are generally considered hellholes). But companies have the power to set policy, and the power to hire and fire. So yeah, I get to judge the company by what its parts repeatedly do.
They are more open with their development division, as they have to be. Windows is a completely different division, and more often than not, the notable members of the development division will call out their company.
