There are other cloud vendors who will gladly take a $20 million windfall if Microslop doesn’t want it.

" It's not "Trump's policies."

It's FEDERAL LAW."

That's truly the most insane thing about this whole issue. Federal law passed by congress and signed into law by a president. Precisely how our system of government works and is supposed to work.

Really, far...far too many ignorant people out there. That, and way too many who want to subvert our rule of law.

Would love for the Executive Branch to cease and desist with all Microjunk products. Shelf ready replacements with eons of better security are readily available.

Trump Curse on all who say “nay”!

So Microsoft wants my company to develop products in their cloud, when there employees might not agree with my personal politico beliefs. What if they cut me off after developing apps in their cloud?

Look what happen to the FireFox CEO....

I am all for the cancellation of this contract as long as Microsoft is advised all other government contracts are cancelled.

No need to enforce immigration laws with ICE?

Then there is NO need to enforce the law against China who steals and SELLS the Microsoft OS throughout China.

I think that federal contracting should just debar Microsoft and all its products. It would make them happy.

Let the power of the federal government teach businesses that act like monopolies that being political is bad for business.

This just might force new life into Word Perfect, Linux, and a host of other options.

MS stock holders won’t like that.
I don’t know about this contract but Federal contract I have worked has a hefty non performance clause.

Obviously these Microsoft protestors have the moral high ground. Microsoft not only supports various government agencies such as the military war machine, ICE and US Customs. Many state and local police departments are assisted with various software products used to oppress the people. It is my understanding the Trump and his family and criminal regime are users of Microsoft products. It is your duty to quit your jobs as a protest for social justice.

Sure, they're free to voice their opinions (at the peril of their employment, of course), but Microsoft has no responsibility to cave to their demands.

Notice how the ignorant cowards didn't sign their names to the letter? That took real courage. </sarc>

What we need is a Kent state or three
