This may be purely cathartic :winktongue:, but does anyone know of any Microsoft executive email addresses or "snail mail" addresses where a person could send their expressions on how Microsoft's abandonware policies of the last 3 years has affected them?
I have found a few myself by either Bing'ing them or by just trying different things. I've not received a bounceback on the following:
I think Nadella is somewhat aware of the pain he's caused others (at least according to the quote from an interview below), but I think to a large degree he's compartmentalized it away somewhere.
"Ryssdal: What's the last semi-significant mistake you made?
Nadella: I would say the realization that in many cases, customers have already chosen to work with you and yet you consciously, or unconsciously, abandon them to go work off on the new shiny object is a mistake I've made recently and in the past."
Who knows, maybe lightning would strike, and Nadella would actually take the time to read a lowly developer's or lowly fan's expressions about how his abandonment of Consumer facing devices and services has affected them personally.
A little advice though if you decide to share your thoughts:
As for snail mail. I've not tried it but I've found this online:

Has anyone tried mailing them, without receiving a Return From Sender?

A little advice though if you decide to share your thoughts:
- Send each person an email individually, no carpet bomb cc's, otherwise you will be flagged as spam
- Be honest, but be as respectful as you can in your choice of language, otherwise you might be flagged as spam. You want them to read it after all.
- Instead of just focusing on the problem, focus on the solution. Tell them specifically what you would like them to do to fix any problem you perceive.
