I mean honestly, you have to laugh. It's like this insane fragile ego story, where the sting of bad press causes this company to sabotage and corrupt itself over and over, instead of just being quiet and collecting its literally planetary amounts of money. https://twitter.com/...

Microsoft is avoiding antitrust scrutiny by rebranding itself as nice and boring, even as it reverts to some of the behaviors that led to prosecution the '90s
