Microsoft's Acquisition Hunger Games

microsoft-memes, acquisitions-memes, corporate-memes, github-memes, activision-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Microsoft's corporate strategy in a nutshell: "Haven't bought anything in a few months? Time to assimilate another company!" The meme perfectly captures Microsoft's notorious habit of solving boredom by acquiring everything in sight. From GitHub to LinkedIn to Activision Blizzard, their boardroom meetings must have a big red "ACQUIRE" button that executives slam whenever quarterly profits look too predictable. The alien overlord commanding "Begin the acquisition process" is basically Satya Nadella after his morning coffee, scanning the tech landscape for the next victim—I mean, "strategic partnership opportunity."

Confession Of A Teams Developer

The absolute rage when someone proudly announces they work on Microsoft Teams! For context, Teams is notorious for being a resource-hungry, bug-filled collaboration platform that developers love to hate. The father's instant switch from polite conversation to "10 seconds to get out" perfectly captures what happens when you admit to creating software that makes millions of devs restart their computers daily. It's like bragging about inventing paper cuts or mandatory Windows updates. Meanwhile, MSN Messenger (the OG chat app) ran smoothly on computers with the processing power of a calculator. The nostalgia is real!

How The Tables Have Turned

30 years and the tables have turned! In 1994, Windows users were the serious business types while Linux nerds were the smug outsiders. Fast forward to 2024, and suddenly Linux is the sensible choice for actual work while Windows users are busy rebooting after another forced update. Nothing says "technological evolution" quite like watching Microsoft slowly transform their OS into what looks like a billboard with occasional computing features. The irony is delicious – and completely lost on anyone still waiting for their Windows 11 widgets to load.

Good Bye Old Friend

THE CORPORATE EXECUTION SCENE WE NEVER WANTED! Microsoft taking Skype behind the shed like it's Old Yeller is the tech tragedy of our time! 💔 After buying Skype for a CASUAL $8.5 BILLION in 2011, Microsoft is now basically putting it out of its misery as Teams becomes the golden child. The classic "acquire then retire" move that makes tech enthusiasts scream into their mechanical keyboards. Pour one out for those iconic notification sounds that interrupted COUNTLESS important meetings! You'll be remembered fondly... until we completely forget about you next week.
