Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
Microsoft locks out another open source developer, because that’s exactly what you want from a platform: surprises. The VPN maker joins a growing list of developers who’ve been locked out without warning. Microsoft’s consistency is impressive. The company’s communication skills, not so much. It’s just another day in the life of a developer relying on Microsoft’s goodwill.
