On the contrary! They are likely very aware of Microsoft's strategy and probably regard it as being too soft. They intend to milk their technology to the last drop.

You and I may regard it as evil, but it's a perfectly valid strategy. Perhaps it's more common outside IT? It's the brutally honest business strategy.

I can sort of appreciate that they don't play around. Perhaps not my first choice of technology, but you certainly know where you have them.
