The "Scroogled" era wasn't that long ago either. Unbelievably embarrassing.

Nor the stealing of Google's search results.

I'm not ready to bless Microsoft yet.

How long do they have to pay for their past mistakes before they've done enough to placate people?

    This is not a past mistake, racketeering against Linux and Android using their patents is still ongoing today.

    Long enough to earn trust.

    I still don't trust Sony after the RootKit fiasco, and it might be another decade before I do. Or Sprint after the IQ agent keylogger.

    There are simply too many other companies with similar products to ms, sony or sprint that have no public dishonesty on their record. I can just use someone else's product until they have been good corporate citizens long enough that I have forgotten.
