content: One can't facepalm hard enough around you newfriends. You do realize, Microsoft has been doing what they do since the 1980's, right? Win10 debacle is small fry compared to 80s Microsoft. 80s Microsoft would blatantly violate your patent / copyright, undercut your prices, and watch you be driven out of business while the courts got tied up with their hundreds of lawyers. Microsoft is a slimy company, they always have been, and so was everyone else back in the day. Now people expect corporations to act differently, and they do to some extent, but fundamentally they are the same. The only people who lost confidence with Microsoft because of Windows 10 are the basic users who never actually used Windows for what it was anyways. Microsoft doesn't care because their profit base lies with the businesses. Businesses don't care about privacy, convenience, or what the basic user's perception of something is. They care about reliability and the bottom line. As long as Microsoft keeps delivering the most user friendly, stable, and scalable business environment, their customers keep coming back. TLDR: You don't like Microsoft for entirely the wrong reasons, and they don't care that you don't like them
