It’s simple–Microsoft (and many other large corporations, and not a few small ones) want to make as much money as possible, and are not morally against coercion to do it. They interpet all situations in the light of “How can I make ever more money off of this?” and never in the light of “What is best for mankind?” This, of course, is called “Business” and is not necessarily a bad thing. It is only when the ONLY consideration is “How do I make money, to the exclusion of everything else?” that things really go bad.
Ah, the stockholders: if only they could get their heads out of their collective asses (wallets) and grow a corporate conscience….not holding my breath on that one…
