It's true that the impact of a single individual is very small, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't do anything. I guess it's similar to the whole Nike fiasco where many people stopped buying their products due to their factories employing underpaid children. It's a matter of principle.
Personally, I avoid Microsoft products whenever I can simply before I don't need to use them anymore. There's plenty of great alternatives that are better in many respects.
- WayneDB 15y agoI hear what you're saying. Personally, I would have to change my entire life to do so. Microsoft basically puts food on my table. I enjoy building enterprise and desktop software, developer tools, etc. I don't enjoy building web software or mobile apps. Windows is the best fit for my skills. If I am going to change my life that much, I would rather change careers and become a travelling monk, a yoga instructor, a physical therapist or a vegan food truck vendor. Actually, my plan would be to finish a yoga instructor's course while going to school for a physical therapy license and mastering my cooking at home. THEN, I would roam the country cooking for and healing people. I'm still thinking about it though.
