Welcome in the 21th century. It's nothing new, isn't it? Also, Microsoft is quite late on the train. What do you think Google, Facebook, Twitter, Github ... make their money with their so called free services?
I don't favor this kind of business model, it's just so common. Nobody ever seems to complain about Google's and Apple's policies but if Microsoft does similiar: Outrage!
- zxcvcxz 10y agoPeople definitely complain about google and Apple. I personally see google (and twitter and Microsoft) as branches of the NSA. Apple isn't quite as bad but it's not good either. But also MS deserves more outrage than the others because they have a monopoly on the desktop.
- wmccullough 10y agoI don't think Microsoft deserves more for being more successful in the desktop game. If anything, they would deserve more because they have a larger social responsibility because of their success. How do you take many of these companies recent publicity surrounding wanting to better protect users (see: Apple vs. FBI or Microsoft building their own data centers to protect against NSA compromised data centers). Do you feel this is for show?
