Microsoft has now admitted it should have credited Keivan Beigi for his work in getting WinGet off the ground. However, the company stopped short of apologizing to the Canadian developer.

You see, the reason Microsoft and Google have avoided legal wrangling is not because they love each other so much. Instead, the two Big Tech giants have been participating in a legal truce. This six-year pact is about to come to an end, so the floodgates may open. The two companies privately entered a truce that means no direct legal actions against the other, according to the Financial Times. Of course, over the years since that 2015 deal, the companies have traded plenty of barbs, but they have been reserved for marketing campaigns....

Despite this, many workers still aren’t saving enough, and Microsoft has tried to address this in various ways. Three years ago, it raised the employee contribution options from 6, 8 and 10 percent to 8, 10 and 12 percent. Unfortunately, that didn’t seem to have a large impact.
