Because they've done that countless times before and its always the same. A few motbsh ago there was a senate hearing on ehy Microsoft knowingly caused the Chinese government hacking the US government by deciding not to fix critical security bugs to avoid losing contracts and thus,.money.
What is the result, every damn time?
Weeeeewwweee sowweeeyyyy, but the CEO is on it this time! THIS time we won't fuck you over! That was what, a month ago?
Meanwhile I say, fuck Microsoft, stop paying for that corrupt badly built spyware shit, switch to Linux, and then I'm the bad guy.
Edit: judging from the downvotrs here, it's fair to say that a lotmof people are perfectly fine with paying to get screwed over
Woah chill dude. I never said you were a bad guy. In fact, I get the frustration. I even agree with it to some extent. I just don’t think a lot of people being temporarily inconvenienced is a justifiable excuse to go throwing people into jail willy nilly. Let professionals figure out what happened, let the judges decide if it was actually a criminal offense or just a fuck up of epic proportions, then let the consequences roll out accordingly.
If people are dying (I’m not sure), then I think we need to be acting in greater earnest.
