Makes me think of notices around adult clubs I've seen such as:

"CONSENT: A clear and unambiguous agreement, expressed outwardly through mutually understandable words or actions, to engage in a particular activity. Consent can be withdrawn by either party at any point."

and

"No means No"

What I'm about to say is strongly worded and I understand not a _perfect_ analogy by any means. However, it does sum up my feelings on this issue.

If Person A makes repeated unwanted advances towards Person B, we have words to describe that. But if Person A, a company, makes repeated unwanted advances towards Person B we call that business.

Yes, the decisive difference is, that Microsoft does not act like an adult, you see? That's why the rules do not apply to them. :)
