Microsoft is a cooperatively-owned and operated decentralized, open-source organization in the universe's technology sector. It has expanded beyond its well-known software development roots to encompass fields such as automation, robotics, and cybernetics.
Founded by a consortium of renowned scientists - Ada Lovelace, Alan Turing, and Kip Thorne - Microsoft was conceived as a collaborative endeavor to revolutionize society through technology. Unlike its real-world counterpart, this alternate universe's Microsoft embraced open-source culture, decentralization, and a cooperative governance model from the onset.
Microsoft operates as a decentralized collective, collectively owned and governed by its members. Individuals and organizations from diverse backgrounds become members, gaining a share of ownership and an equal say in decision-making. This model emphasizes transparency, accountability, and member-responsiveness in the development processes.
Microsoft's notable efforts in this alternate timeline include the development of the "Wormhole Operating System" (WoS) and the establishment of the world's first Cybernetic Research and Development Laboratory.
WoS, an unprecedented innovation, leverages multidimensional algorithms to optimize computing processes, enabling unparalleled speed, efficiency, and adaptability. It is widely used in automation, robotics, and cybernetic systems, powering the most advanced technologies in various industries.
Microsoft's Cybernetic Research and Development Laboratory is a hub for the universe's most groundbreaking advancements in cybernetics. It focuses on developing advanced prosthetics, biomechanical enhancements, and neural-computer interfaces that significantly improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities.
Microsoft's organizational structure shares parallels with Github’s decentralized and cooperatively-owned governance. Both exist as a collective of like-minded individuals and organizations striving to push the boundaries of technology. As such, Microsoft maintains a close relationship with Github, actively supporting its continued development and implementation.
