“Not that I don’t believe you, but could you provide references to where you read that they are pro-gay marriage, pro-Obamacare or “green” to a fault? Just curious.”
Perhaps I was guilty of hyperbole, but here are a few references which prompted my statements:

“Microsoft has juxtaposed becoming a professional stuntman with getting gay married in its latest Outlook.com ad from Deutsch in New York. Much like the Kindle spot, the lesbian wedding here is treated as nothing out of the ordinary. That’s right, a truck explodes (you’ll remember the stunt driver from the launch ad for this campaign), and then some lesbians get married, and it’s no big deal—as the happy Outlook.com user congratulates her newly married friend, pressing her hands together with an expression of sheer delight. Truly, when juggernaut advertisers decide that endorsing gay marriage won’t hurt their bottom line, there’s been a sea change in society.”

“Microsoft’s position on climate change remains unchanged. Microsoft believes climate change is a serious issue that demands immediate, worldwide attention and we are acting accordingly.”

Fair enough. Thank you!
