The thing to note is that even if Microsoft has damaged the ecosystem or having not-so-high company ethics, they didn't do that just for the sake of being evil.

The thing to note is that even if Microsoft has damaged the ecosystem or having not-so-high company ethics, they didn't do that just for the sake of being evil. They have a goal (and I don't mean the publicly stated mission) and they just did whatever they need to achieve that.
Now, if the goal of Bill Gates is to make the world a better place to live, and he's doing whatever needed be done to achieve that ... Of course things could still not be ideal, but there is actually not that much reason to not trust the foundation. Unless you implies their goals were something else all along :-).
- studentrob 13y agoif someone makes a habit of deviating from their publicly stated mission, do you trust them? nobody sets out to be evil from their perspective, but living up to your word does impact others' perspective of you
- Amadou 13y agothey didn't do that just for the sake of being evil. No one ever does. Nobody wakes up in the morning and decides, "Today I will strike a blow for evil!" No, everybody has their own narrative in which they are the hero. Evil is simply the by-product of being so focused on your own narrative that you forget that other people have their own narratives in life.
