Public or private?

Summary: The inconsistencies between public statements of Microsoft and private discussions/actions

"My own point of view is that it's a fantastic start in treating privacy as a human right," Satya Nadella, last month when asked about GDPR (which Microsoft violates).

"I do think terrorism with biological or nuclear weapons is something we want to minimize the chance of,” Nadella's boss (Microsoft Board) Bill Gates when asked about privacy (the company has long worked with the NSA and was the first in PRISM). So if people have privacy there will be nuclear war? That's it? That's what the argument boils down to?

"Microsoft loves Linux," Nadella a few years ago.

“Linux infestations are being uncovered in many of our large accounts as part of the escalation engagements,” Microsoft confidential document.

There are many more examples like that; the key point though is that Microsoft basically appointed a very, very good liar as CEO. Believing him on just about anything is unwise and for those who believe he symbolises "diversity" remember he's not too keen on women workers (article by a publication that Bill Gates is repeatedly bribing). ⬆
