  Steve Ballmer explains the accountability trap inside founder-led companies. He had been Microsoft's 30th employee. When he became CEO in 2000, he says the first year was miserable: "Bill didn't know how to work for anybody." "I didn't know how to manage Bill." Then Gates gave him the line that changed the job: "I'm happy to help you any way, but I don't want you to need me." Ballmer says that was when it hit him: "We're not partners anymore. I have to take accountability." After Gates left, Microsoft pushed into Bing, Office 365, Azure, Surface, and hardware. Then Ballmer gives the scoreboard: "I started a company that had about $2.5 million of revenue and 30 people." "I left a company that had $22 billion in profit." I have seen this handoff problem inside scaling companies. The hard part is not respecting the founder. The hard part is knowing when the company needs one accountable owner of the decision. The diagnostic I would use: if the old partner still has veto power but no longer owns the result, the org is already confused. - Steve Ballmer on Bloomberg Television

  @EvanOwen @tmnxeq @RhoRider I get where you are coming from. It does help *if implemented well*, just like any other software or process. It is way to early to judge effectiveness since most of the businesses are just having people use ChatGPT for random stuff and using copilot in office 365. When I did software consulting many clients would tell me they were “in the cloud” when all they meant is they have office 365 subs and a terrible sharepoint inplementation. AI is the same way. It will be several *years* before AI is used effectively in enterprise scenarios.

  @JezCorden Because...consumer. No human support option on first contact. Only AI, Forums & Forms. Automated responses. It's the same issue as consumer Office 365 user. If you run in a serious problem as data loss or exchange issues, you're screwed. Only commercial customer get a minimum

  @omninomsky @jiya_3063 WSL helps on windows, and has been quite amazing really. That said, one big "reason" for developing "preferring" windows really comes down to corporate governance and office tools. Many businesses run off Office 365, sharepoint, etc. Yes, you can run these in a browser, but with limitations. Another big reason is governance of machines. Machines are imaged, sent out and a good 25% of their utilization is just off of software like antivirus, threat scanning, etc. It's pretty inefficient, in my view, but can be an uphill battle to change it.

  There's a question I get asked constantly by investors building individual accounts: how much of a single name is too much? Been sitting with this in the context of the Revere Gro and Rair exposure framework circulating around $MSFT positions. The model tries to map concentration risk across growth-rate sensitivity and rate-cycle sensitivity - not a bad starting structure. But I think it locates the problem slightly wrong. For a long-horizon value investor, risk management is not primarily about volatility. It's about permanent capital impairment. Those are genuinely different things, and conflating them leads to genuinely different mistakes. MSFT at current prices trades around 32-33x forward earnings. P/B north of 13. EV/EBITDA in the high 20s depending on the quarter. Not cheap multiples by historical standards - even for a business generating the FCF that Microsoft does. And the FCF is real: Azure margin expansion, Office 365 recurring, Activision slowly integrating. The capital allocation story holds up - disciplined buybacks, a growing dividend, R&D spend that's actually productive rather than defensive. ROIC consistently above cost of capital. The moat is not in question. But here's the thing about exposure management in individual accounts specifically: when you hold a concentrated position in a company priced for near-perfection, your margin of safety becomes structural rather than mathematical. You can't just point at the balance sheet and call it hedged. The Rair framing - rate-adjusted intrinsic return - is useful because it forces the right question: if the 10-year rises another 100bps from here, does this company's intrinsic value hold? For MSFT, probably yes. The business doesn't need cheap debt to function. It generates cash in almost any macro environment. The moat doesn't erode with rates. But position sizing is where individual investors chronically underperform. Institutions manage downside scenarios as a daily operational function. Individual investors size based on conviction - and conviction is not risk management. Conviction is the justification for taking risk. Risk management is the system of rules that governs how much risk you actually accept. Practical framework, after holding through multiple cycles: - If you can articulate the bear case (multiple compression, Azure growth deceleration, AI capex overhang not yet reflected in FCF) and still sleep at night at 10-12% allocation, that's probably the rational ceiling for a concentrated individual book. - If a 20% drawdown in this one name would materially alter your financial situation, you've crossed from investing into speculating on management quality and multiple expansion. The Revere Gro side of the concept is really just another way of saying: don't let a great company become a great risk by virtue of how much of your book it occupies. The business quality and the position size are separate questions that individual investors routinely collapse into one. Balance sheet analysis matters. FCF trajectory matters. They're inputs into a position-sizing decision - not substitutes for one. That distinction is the actual heart of risk management in individual accounts, and most frameworks bury it. Long MSFT. Have been for years. Never let it exceed 12% of the book regardless of how strongly I believe in the thesis. That ceiling is a feature.

  @bretgreenstein @KarolCodes Agreed. Historically, things moved at a slow enough pace that there was ample time to reasonably estimate the cost of an associate's tech stack. The value obtained from that stack was self-evident, exceeding its cost. For example, no rational firm was doing an ROI on whether a new associate should have a PC or an Office 365 license. It was table stakes. In this new AI world, both the costs and the potential value are radically changing on a routine basis. It makes it that much harder to have sound and stable financial governance models.

  @esrtweet I think Excel is the grand bottleneck, or was last I checked. Imagine trying to switch a bank, say your local credit union, over to LibreOffice or any of the StarOffice lineage. Doable in principle, but realistically all the macros are broken (the version of BASIC differs from Excel) and the median banker doesn't have muscle memory for the new keyboard shortcuts anyway. You can obviously use Office 365 from a browser, but you lose access to some features (again, last I checked) and it's still Microsoft. Linux is absolutely fine for everything I use it for. The problem is mostly just lack of attention on things that people who have already adopted it don't themselves need. Window Manager wise, there are several where it's hard to tell the difference between that and Windows or MacOS (or the difference is ~entirely good things).

  @12Knocksinna @Office365 I’m assuming that’s because this was used to create nested dynamic group membership that caused too many support issues?

  Holy **** GoDaddy is among the worst companies on the planet. Been trying desperately to get them to fix the issue with a domain name previously owned by another company who in the past, used Office 365. Now that my client owns the domain, we can't seem to get them to remove the domain. Microsoft support has been non-existent as well. They assigned a dude to the case, but then he dropped the ball and won't reply to me.

  @CryptoJ97019913 1. Upselling microsoft products: Office365, OneDrive, Copilot, Xbox Live. "Start Experiences App" 2. Recommendation: Start menu items, app search results. 3. Driving traffic to bing: - Desktop "learn more about image", - same with lock and login screen. - Applications with "search the web" feature are directly tied to Bing. - Weather widget is there to drive you to bing news feed - Search in task bar has that little icon to drive you to bing. It's not a conspiracy that the window home user is monetized through ads. Microsoft makes $20+ billion on ad revenue and it's assumed that roughly 75% of that is coming from windows users. It is very important to drive users from windows to bing.

  @DeepValue47 On Azure. 👎🏻 If they force their Office dominance they’ll likely force @PalantirTech into the office document space. Office 365 web word support is terrible and everyone knows it. If Palantir integrates Team equivalent capability, the war will be on.

  @RihardJarc Half of its market value is office 365. So you can cut that segment in half, thus reducing its market cap by 25%. I think that segment's going to go down even more
