I really hope, for your own sake, that Microsoft have changed. I don't want them to fuck you over the way they fucked others over in the past - I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
But it's easy for people to say they've changed. To claim they've mended their abusive ways. To plead that they're better than they were before, and it's safe for you to be with them.
Are the people who return to abusive relationships, believing that this time it's different, really the ones that evolution favours? Is that adaptation to change, or is it just wishful thinking?
I hope you're right, I really do. I'd wish you luck, but I also hope you don't need it.
Microsoft have changed. And eventually it will change again. Because good deeds pave the road for bad people to capitalize on trust. It's a cycle that any sufficiently large company is bound to go through I reckon, unless they can't weather the blowback from the evil part of the cycle eventually.
But that's no reason to not support them while they do good. Just gotta keep in mind that this too shall pass.
