A lot of people seem to believe Microsoft has a moral obligation to protect humanity here and that because they didn't protest before, they shouldn't be supported. I completely disagree with both of those sentiments. Microsoft has an obligation to stay in business- it will protect its users so that they don't go elsewhere. That's pretty much it. The US Government has begun to clash with this core objective and so Microsoft is fighting back. This is good for everyone, regardless of the profit motive behind it.
