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.

Welcome to the world of modern capitalism. I'm seriously starting to question if a company can survive on the stock market by creating a solid product and caring about the users of that product.

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.
