It doesn’t wash with me that the pending announcement could not have been shared with more WaSP members in the few days prior to it being made.
This is the problem for me. I wasn’t aware of the pending announcement and I am nominally the MSTF lead.
I agree with you. Microsoft have played the WaSP and are using its name to their advantage. If they are going to behave like this in the future then it might be best to sever our relationship with them.
