What a distasteful response. People are not `dumping on` microsoft. What kind of PR is this?

Interesting, but disingenuous

The VP says: "but sometimes it's just check emails and verify your accounts. "

From the Techcrunch article:

    “Microsoft never sent me any notification at all about this. I’ve looked in every inbox in every spam folder in every mail log, and zero, nothing, zilch,” Donenfeld said.
I think Microsoft systems are intermittently failing, it is the simplest explanation

Yesterday I couldn't get a download link for the Windows install media creation tool for a solid hour due to errors at their CDN(?). I have a friend in IT who tells me "degraded availability" across their many services is a daily thing.

The solution, clearly, is even more layoffs.

So, he hadn't logged in for 4 years...? Or didn't push an update for 4 years? You guys are really taking this at face value?
