Recently a question popped on my Quora feed where I was asked to answer:

There was a significant backlash, but was I surprised? Not at all. I reasoned it’s mostly a knee-jerk reaction and not much different from #DeleteFacebook movement or #DeleteUber movement to show disapproval of a big news in tech. I’d say it’s expected. I am also pretty positive the execs were prepared for this. However the interesting part of the question is the reaction “as a Microsoft employee” and where it differs from the tech observer outside.
