Why? Why should we forget that the entire company (currently) is funded by the crimes of the past?
Are they a person who made mistakes when young and now deserves a second chance?
I'm not anti-capitalistic but I'd never deal with, for example, a consultancy that cheated me in the past even if they had all new consultants and managers - some things just don't change. And even if... they might have turned over a new leaf but do they deserve another try and are you obligated to give it to them? Wouldn't it be better for everyone to offer the opportunity to a potentially honest competitor?
As long as people are willing to forgive companies, companies are prepared to bilk them.

- fineman 11y agoIf we all ignored them, and their products, they would go away. Capitalism. I don't care to offer them a way to improve; their future success isn't my problem. Why do you feel the need to make Microsoft the victim?
- jevgeni 11y agoOnly, Microsoft's competitors are not their customers.
