What are you talking about?

Microsoft has to suck it up when they screw up like everyone else.

...they’ve just got a teack record of screwing it up (and screwing peopke over) which is longer and messier thansome other people.

Google would get the same reaction if they had done what microsoft has.

The point is: no free lunches.

You feel its unfair to microsoft? Well, cry me a fucking river for that billionity dollar corporation.

relax. i don’t care about a billion dollar corporation. what i care about is hive mentality, particularly in the tech world, which is what i was obviously getting at. facebook is one of the most evil corporations around, yet people are more than happy to use the tech they release. and apple and google get constant passes for shit they do or don’t do that people would lose their minds over if microsoft did it. so it’s not that it is unfair to microsoft. it’s that people have tunnel vision and turn a blind eye.

so the point is: no free lunches. apply criticism equally and without bias.
