Does Microsoft management or business people in general not see that this is looking like the act of a company desperately try to save itself from bankruptcy? I get that this isn't the case, but it looks really desperate or excessively greedy. Some one at Microsoft should try to explain this, not sure they can without looking like immoral assholes.
