Microsoft is looking amateur. Even I the layman can take one look at OpenAI's ridiculously convoluted structure and it's laughably threadbare and ill-equipped board members and know something is wrong.
Microsoft should have looked at this and forced them to clean up their act before getting in bed with them. Now they're embroiled in the bush league shenanigans.

The funny thing is, this likely wasn't due to any nefarious machinations by Microsoft but rather the total and complete incompetence which has been at their core since their founding.
Sad to see that Microsoft needed outside feedback instead of figuring out the outcome on their own before they shipped. Am I to seriously believe no decision-maker saw this coming? I think they threw it out there to see if they could get away with it, and if not, well mea culpa all around. It's either that, or some program managers over there are awfully naive.
There is something about Microsoft specifically where they are just willing to leave absolutely broken systems in production and just refuse to acknowledge it or care in the slightest.
Each of the FAANG members seems to have their own signature failure mode and while I don't find Microsoft to be the most unlikable they do seem to be by a wide margin the least competent.
Microsoft may be pretty good in reacting to security issues,
but many of the holes are results of mind-bogglingly stupid
design decisions that are in a class of their own. ActiveX, anyone?
It's something, sure. But it is still a major fuck up, so them seeing fit to throw us some scraps (for a paid product!) is nothing to appreciate. Maybe I'm reading things into your comment that you didn't mean to say, in which case I apologise.
We should hold Microsoft accountable for borking installs and coming up with a half-assed fix even if it is a complex problem. They're in the lead on the desktop OS market and make billions upon billions of dollars that way. They should do better.
Could the cold hard truth be that Microsoft's top developers lack the technical expertise to fix a trivial bug in their own software because the code its self is a complete mess?
A typical Microsoft / cowboy programmer "solution". Ever wonder why Microsoft products are so buggy and unrealiable in every possible way? That's because they are built from hacks upon hacks just like this one with no regard for the user experience.
