“Microsoft ... oh well.”

Consider Lenux next time you need a new computer.

Dell, WOW! (good for seniors, folks who don’t want the hassle), and others, have Lenux installed.

And if you’re more computer saavy than I am, you can install Lenux yourself.

What to do beyond a boycott? For starters:
(1) plaster the list on social media, blogs, etc
(2) send the list to local media
(3)write companies a note as to why you will not patronize them.
(4) research and post on FR which companies donated to the Clintons.

===============================================

BTW, you are wrong about Starbucks.

<><> Starbuck's coffee shop recently had the most poignant Memorial Day salute to the fallen:

As you walk in, at the entrance, a table is set, covered w/ a pristine white cloth, with one place setting and a fallen soldier's camouflage hat. The place setting and overturned wine glass await the fallen soldier... a bud vase w/ a red rose, and a lighted votive candle salutes our fallen heroes.

It brought tears to the eyes of many coffee buyers.

At Starbuck's near military bases---soldiers get free coffee all day--their kids get cake pops.

<><> CEO Howard Schultz is in a program to encourage US industry to hire vets.

<><> Schultz has come out for conceal/carry---and though he has said he would prefer guns not be brought into Starbucks, I have seen coffee buyers sporting hip holsters at the counter.
