Microsoft's Ethical Guidelines

Posted by kdawson on from the oxy-meet-moron dept.

hankwang writes "Did you know that Microsoft has ethical guidelines? It's good to know that 'Microsoft did not make any payments to foreign government officials' while lobbying for OOXML, and that 'Microsoft conducts its business in compliance with laws designed to promote fair competition' every time they suppressed competitors. In their Corporate Citizenship section, they discuss how the customer-focused approach creates products that work well with those of competitors and open-source solutions. So all the reverse-engineering by Samba and OpenOffice.org developers wasn't really necessary."

  1. Censored tags? by Meor · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    What happened to the kdawsonfud tags? Are these censored? When tags first came out they were always tagged with this but now when I tag them it never appears. It seems very odd these would be censored.

    And google simply commits to "doing no evil". Yet they comply with censoring orders even in America (youtube videos disappear not just for copyright reasons, as everyone knows).
