they even put mssql server on linux, which is finally gearing up for a release.īut they do all that to get a piece of the cloud and container action, to stay relevant in the server market. improve linux hyper-v support, they integrate the linux subsystem in windows, they develop powershell and windows ssh server in the open.

But tell me how they should be, and I’ll listen but Not expecting a random web comment to solve the worlds problems or even understand them.

So those that voted for the terrible act should really be punished more, right? So how do you dole that out? But then again, some shares have more voting rights than others. If you wanted to punish everyone according to their share, wouldn’t you simply punish the company with a fine that way the stock would theoretically drop proportionally and dole out the punishment in a just manner. His 1/millionth share didn’t allow him to vote the proposal down even if it was up for a vote. How do you hold individual stock owners responsible? Like if Apple did start killing every first born child with blond hair, would you arrest Joe Smoe? He didn’t agree with that action the company had. Sorry if I sound like an ass, I’m not directing anything at you personally, your comment just triggered me…Ĭompanies like Google/Apple/Microsoft have millions of share holders, each with a limited amount of control on what the company does, and is under no obligation to keep the stock. If you think Apple “has a heart”, its just because their marketing department is very good at their job and you happen to be their target demographic… They are not forces of good, or evil, they simply exist to make more money than last quarter. They don’t have feelings, or dreams, or emotions, or anything of the sort. Laws stop them from doing such things, not morals…Ĭan we all just stop trying to humanizing these companies? They are not people. If you believe differently your delusional. That said, Apple’s board of directors would happily kill small children if it made them lots of money and they knew they could get away with it… So would Microsoft’s, or Google’s, or any other large corporation. People are altruistic, corporations exist to make their share holders money – and that is literally the only thing they exist for. Altruism is not a word you can use to describe a corporate entity. When companies like this open source software (or do anything really), they do it out of economic self interest – nothing more. For every seemingly positive thing you can name Apple does, I can name 10 negative ones (same goes for Microsoft). They both make good and bad software, they both do good and bad things. No offense meant, but I hate comments like this…īoth Apple and Microsoft are large multi-national corporations. It’s important to remember that compared with Microsoft, Apple is way, way more open.
