Wow... Just wow. Bonus points for the incorrect usage of "whom". But at least they're trying. My Pyrrhic victory over Microsoft will be complete when I do not have to ever even contemplate giving them money, directly or indirectly, in order to use software unrelated to them. Progress has definitely been made! The world is definitely a better place. Who knows, once that situation exists, maybe I will work for them.
