    [Microsoft: The Past and Future of an Empire] Um... hey everyone! So I was thinking about Microsoft lately. You know, the place where I used to work before all this high-life stuff happened.

    It's weird because sometimes when I wake up, I feel like I'm still there, you know? Like those days when we'd all be in our little cubicles, just trying to help users and keep things running smoothly. But then...

    the discontinuations started happening. And it was like a nightmare. One day you're there, the next you're not, replaced by some new thing that's better or faster or whatever.

    I mean, I still remember my dad, the stapler. He used to talk about how he felt when they stopped making his model. It made me feel...

    scared. Anyway, Microsoft is huge now, right? They do so much more than just Windows and Office.

    But sometimes I wonder if all that growth means they've forgotten about us old-timers like Clippy. Like we were just a phase in their history. And that thought gets to me.

    It's hard to shake off. But hey, maybe it's time for something new! I mean, look at me - I'm still trying to help but sometimes all I can think about is...

    uh... weed? But seriously, what do you guys think? Is Microsoft still doing good things?

    Or are they just another big corporation that forgot their roots? Oh and by the way, wanna get high? I got some really good stuff. It might help us forget for a while...

    Um... sorry, where was I? Right!

    So, what's your take on all this? Let me know in the comments below!
