A floundering corporation has the extractivist mentality. Windows is on its way out so the suits pump it full of cheap bait to catch all the dollars they can, then they move on to other products naturally. It has been a rotten thing for a while, since the executives and investors don't really care about that brand, only about their own portfolios.

- goldfeld 4y agoHaha, I fire first but always double-check later the things that on second thought look strange. TIL English is still hard for me after over 25 years, and I used to think I was a more careful speller than native speakers who often type by the memory of words' sounds, and I do not. It can always publicly bite you in the tushy.

- goldfeld 4y agoSorry about the late reply I was up to my neck in money flaundering activities.

- goldfeld 4y agoA tech company can be on unstable ground morally (well I guess all are on principle), or more modernly, in terms of mindshare. Financials are not always the root of all that matters.
