It was a childish and immature comment, not appropriate for HN. That's why it is getting downvoted. In addition, this comment talking about the downvotes will get downvoted as well. Not only for the fact that you are talking about downvotes in your comment, but by the fact that your comment is effectively "begging the question."
Rather than make one-off snide comments, actually contribute something that is respectful to other people's time.
- justinclift 11y agoWhat's a better way to point out MS should be Open Sourcing the parts of their codebase which people don't trust (eg their spyware)? They seem to be making large numbers of moves trying to get people to use their platform... and at the same time, shooting themselves in the foot-head-foot with trust-destroying moves... and ignoring everything in relation to that. :(
- vulpino 11y agoHow about: "Maybe Microsoft should consider open sourcing the components of their system which track users. It's possible that this would help rebuild the trust that was eroded with the release of Windows 10."
- justinclift 11y agoThanks. Tried to change it... but the "edit" link was gone by that time. Oh well, next time. :)
- michaelmrose 11y agoYou are disrespectful and your rudeness adds nothing to the discussion. His made a valid point. This entire site is just by its nature very pro business even in the case of really bad businesses.
