> Do you also shout loud when Microsoft set a precedent for shutting down products and services?

Relentlessly. If you get me talking about MS you won’t be able to get me to shut up.

They’re a bully who was never broken and that just invites more bullies.

Whatever tiny power I have to prevent another Microsoft from ever happening again, I will happily use it, and proactively. I think you’ll find that some of the “unfair” venom FB, Google and Amazon get is from people who feel the same way. Take them down a notch while they’re still in arm’s reach.
