It is quite hysterical when the 2nd largest company in the world pretends like it can't compete - and not that they'd rather get handouts because it isn't worth it to them to make the investment - especially when they can just beg for handouts like a dog instead. The fact that this behavior is normalized is really pathetic. Microsoft should be ashamed of themselves. Instead they're proud that they took an opportunity to seek a handout. Maybe I'm naive thinking there was a world in which large companies ever had a shred of dignity - but if there was such a time - I wish the corporate world would revert back to it.
