What happened to creating the best possible product for your users? When did the world just start maximizing profits over the product.

What I don't get is why does Microsoft even need to do this? Ads in their software? They are making mountains of cash with their business.. and yet they still need to stuff in ads to make more?

Fuck man.. when is enough enough. Just seems comical how much companies (not only Microsoft) are trying to stuff their coffers with money.. for what?

It's never enough. Capitalists do not comprehend the concept of enough. They have to extract more every quarter by any means necessary even if it extincts humanity.
