- executesorder66 5y agoSure, every microsoft employee didn't unanimously agree with the decision to change the default browser settings (and any other example that might come to mind). But it's obvious that the decision makers at microsoft are unethical and have been so since the beginning. The employees who work on cool stuff that's useful to others could have done so anywhere, yet they _chose_ to do so at microsoft knowing that the higher-ups are consistently unethical. That makes me question their ethics as well.
