Seems like Microsoft's Modus operandi the last few years has been: Make anti-consumer move -> get backlash -> repackage same egregiousness while stalling & deflecting -> repeat cycle

Steamrolling their users then getting rewarded with their stock going stratospheric. Excellent!



That's pretty much it. If MSFT stock was punished for such actions, they would stop today.


I just wish they’d wine and dine me after getting fucked so much.


Be a CFO at a major company, Microsoft will wine and dine you while they fuck all your staff.
