To Microsoft: spying on the software development industry on an unprecedented level, anticompetitiveness against other software development companies (as they can see what everybody else is developing before they release it), a software piracy solution that actually works, ongoing revenue from rentism, less money spent on development as Javascript developers come cheap and they can reuse code from Visual Studio Code. What could bring them greater benefits? Stay off the cloud, and not just Microsoft's. Regards Damjan
