Summary: With deep staff cuts happening in Azure and Microsoft itself questioning the future of Xbox (both already had many layoffs this year), one is left wondering how many rumours like the above it takes to simply reckon that some people high up at Microsoft know "too much"; this morning I heard about a Microsoft manager who is dumping his shares (he lost faith in the company) and I keep hearing about many layoffs coming in July (the commonality in rumours is the month of July)
