Anyone with any morals would never want to be associated with the Microsoft name, so anyone who does is untrustworthy by default.
And besides, the current CEO was the one who went from Scroogled to mandatory telemetry, while focusing on renting out servers at a ridiculous markups. Don't forget the new focus on the Windows Store either. Or the locked-down ARM laptops.
So it's not like the current management is innocent either.

- OrderlyTiamat 8y agoIt's modus ponens, no logical fallacy here.
- btschaegg 8y agoI disagree with you there. "Modus ponens" implies sound reasoning on the implication part, not ad-hoc claims and hyperbole. As a thought experiment: Replace "Microsoft" with your favorite open source project and see if the argumentation still holds.
