Show me one of these big technology companies that doesn't act to benefit their shareholders?
Microsoft is Google is Apple is Amazon. They're all the same internally. The only difference is their optics when you're looking at them as an outsider. But really, they all work toward the same goal, increasing their stock price.

- capableweb 3y agoYes, you said that Microsoft is "just like any other public company" but "Except way more mercenary". I'm saying that no, Microsoft is just like the others. They're all like that. All of them would hit below the belt if the risk/reward calculation is correct for shareholders.
- worrycue 3y agoSurprisingly, most of them don't, not to the level Microsoft does at least. Can you give an example of another company as mercenary as Microsoft? P.S. The Halloween Documents give a good overview of how Microsoft thinks.

Also, future to be shareholder are ripped off by current. I companies would focus on (long term) profitability many of their problems would be solved.
