So disappointing. I really wanted to think he was just misquoted. But the attempt to cover up after-the-fact just made it worse -- "Hey, ladies, don't ask for a raise coz you should trust the system. But oh, btw, the system is broken, we should fix it." Either the system is working or not. Make up your mind before asking ppl to trust it.
The Microsoft CEO should not make his political opinions public. It only shows the urgency he feels, or maybe someone else, to appear as the new messiah with deep thoughts at the helm of a corporation that cares for technology and people. I would be probably better to show that Microsoft is not trying to steal Javascript as TypeScript, or ML as F#, or Ruby on Rails as NetMVC, or Android sucking the life out of Samsung. Sorry, this advertisement as a comment just made me cring. There are so many things that Microsoft should not do.
If that's an indication of the level of intellectual thought coming out of the top guy at Microsoft, then it looks like it's going to be another Ballmer esc lost decade for Microsoft.
