    > happily

    Anthropomorphising a corporation is fanciful. A manipulative writing technique given that it appears you're hallucinating an emotional state that you have no way to know!

    > have taken on a state in court

    You are suggesting Microsoft should get involved politically? That would also condone that they should get involved in subjects you wouldn't support.

    Trying to fix symptoms is a losing battle: the cause needs fixing.

      MS is a group of people, led by people and people have emotions. Corporation is a legal abstraction/concept through which states views MS, for legal purposes and whatever. I don't have to, I can view it for what it is. An organized group of people doing stuff for both money and other reasons.

      Saying "MS does something" is a shortcut for "decision makers at MS doing something".

      I'm not suggesting anything other than that MS are boycot-worthy for their past decisions and actions, incl. recent ones. I'm not interested in "fixing" MS, it's much easier just to try to avoid it and its products.

      Yes, I don't know for sure whether this particular decision was done happily by someone in MS. It doesn't matter much, either in the end.
