I like how you abbreviate "Microsoft" as "M$". It means you think of them without bias and with a clear head. /s

- ilyt 4y agoIf you see public company as something other than vehicle to make $$$ for the investor it's you that might have bias problem.
- staticman2 4y agoYou know people only do that with Microsoft, right? It's not done to make a statement about public companies.
- deadbolt 4y agoM$ has been a rather common abbreviation for Microsoft since at least slashdot days.

- naikrovek 4y agomy point is that it is a derogatory abbreviation commonly used by people who, in fact, do not have an unbiased view of Microsoft. it's harder to type than just "MS" so when someone uses "M$" they go out of their way to signal that they are biased. Being biased is fine, so long as one understands that they are biased and that they are communicating their bias along with the rest of the message.
