Skype For Business has done some weird things too.

I confounded MS support.

Come to find out that UAC was a culprit. The in house developer had the idea.

You demand a say in how your work is used and I demand you don’t since you agreed to be hired to work “for” MS. Interesting how it sounds like Pelosi when she said on her latest overseas trip that she has as much power as the President. I am all for having her tried for treason and let’s see how much power she has then after she is convicted. .

Let us not forget 18 U.S. Code squiggly 2385: Advocating overthrow of Government. It is worth reading and then fitting the various Democrats who are creating dissention with Pres Trump into the code. It is rather easily done, in my opinion.

Any kind of computer, or tablet or smartphone, or software by MS, can be used by the military, to help them in warfare.

So, will ALL of those anti-military MS employees ask that MS end its contracts with the military, and even the government which runs that military?

Whatever contracts MS, or Google or Apple or any company decide to end because the equipment and/or software can be applied to warfare, should also be accompanied by the thousands, perhaps millions, of layoffs that result from those cancellations.

Let’s see how many of them are willing to accept their own layoffs mandated by their own idiocy.

Then they ought to stop working on operating Systems too - much of our warfighting is enhanced by the existence of computers and networking and Microsoft has a hugh and series portion of that market....

Fire their asses. And by the way, I noticed they didn’t have any big ethical problems creating ways for the CIA and NSA to snoop in on American citizens.

Yes. Then cross reference the names of the anti American twits on the petition and haul them up on charges of violating U.S. citizens Constitutional right to privacy. Ban them from working on any government contract and put them on the “No fly” list.
