From a social, civic and individual empowerment perspective ceding control of fundamental online infrastructure to a single company is terrible.

Soon we'll have payday loan (SMS loan) offers splat up on our desktops, either we use Edge or not. ohmy.gif


Is MS doing bad financially? I don't follow things like that if it isn't in the headlines.

At least the MSFT stock price has increased steadily over the years, but the expectation is always that profit must continue to grow by any means. I suppose the loan shark business is as good as any. Perhaps you will need to connect a credit card in order to activate future Windows versions?
