Surely two sides of the same coin: A store that closes because

customer choose to shop elsewhere can blame their customers, the

economy, their wares, or their selling ability. Few choose the last.

Microsoft chose not to compete with GitHub. Microsoft's history of

working well with other partners is, to be generous, limited.

Thankfully, it's not the Gates/Ballmer eras any more, so perhaps we'll

see a kinder, gentler Microsoft.
