This is ridiculous. This should be a civil case at most. We are entering into a dangerous era for our own selves when we allow this sort of punishment for software issues. Additionally, this guy recycles 41 million pounds of e-waste a year. He should be celebrated. As a result of that, I can only imagine his larger clients may have to drop the use of the services of his company. Apparently, we don't care, and many comments online are philosophic in tone. Even if the strategy were misguided, this outcome is absurd. That Microsoft would so vigorously pursue this guy has rekindled my dislike for the company. They almost seemed to be on a turnaround path with developers with a cool editor and a new approach. This shows that they and their products are to be avoided at all cost as before. All I can say is that, as developers, we need to work to not embrace Microsoft as they try to restore their relationship with us. And if you work there, well, what can I say... you should speak up about this or leave for more fair waters.
