Good old ethical Microsoft.
I am appreciative of the irony.
Although my rationale is that Microsoft is less likely to sell out western democracy.
Except they are selling out, their ad revenue, telemetry, cloud services, development and support, all dominated by outsourcing at any cost on the race to the bottom
I won’t defend Microsoft but aside from open source software, which software company is NOT engaged in those practices?
Open source is the business model. Majority of systems and soon enough applications agnostic of platform.
