Good changes with Satya, but still a long way to go
Pros: Microsoft's recent decisions under Satya have been brave and appropriate, with some very impactful decisions such as divesting from phone, making Windows 10 free, and focusing on services.
Cons: Product direction across the board has been pretty poor at Microsoft, with countless products being rushed to market with a poor experience design or incomplete/inadequate functional quality.

Middle management (e.g. director levels) still seems to not understand the new priorities, and on the ground it still feels like business as usual.
