TLDR: StartAllBack, ExplorerPatcher and some other projects are being blocked on 24H2.

I'm pretty sure everybody knows it's not just a couple of developers by themselves churning out windows. Even the project managers are just following orders. Marketing sets the tone upper management picks the path.

    He said marketing sets the tone (not the path), and that is absolutely true. Many products are killed or poorly received due to the tone poor marketing set.

    The scary truth is: The CEO scribbles "CLOUD 1ST", "FOCUS ON ENTERPRISE" and "WIN AS A SERVICE" on a napkin during a 5-star dinner and everyone below them tries to make sense of it and translate it into a business strategy. No one is really in charge.

    Thank you. The one arena where the fault really does lie in few enough hands they fit around a biggish table, and the Internet instead makes a nebulous boogeyman out of "marketing" (don't get it twisted either y'all, I condone zero of the bullshit marketing practices we all hate, but that's also the same table of people) instead of the board.

    It's not even secret information. The decision came from the minds of these folks (as they understood what they asked to be measured and think to steer to measure higher numbers of whatever they're measuring):
