    I believe that’s probably why they specify in the headline “at Microsoft” rather than just “independent.”

    You can have an independent division within a company that doesn’t get orders from the company’s main CEO, or you can have it be fully under that person’s oversight. It used to be a separate division with its own management, now it’s not, thus it’s no longer internally independent.

      Huge différence when you have an executive team that can say no.

      Now that the No guys are out, MS CoreAI team can do whatever the fuck they want.

      I should have deleted my data earlier.

        You’ve still got time. Even when management transitions, it takes MUCH longer for actual systems and processes to catch up to the new “vision” they have for it.

        If you want to delete your data, now would be the time before they actually start implementing any new practices.
