Degrading Microsoft

Microsoft, the company for which I dreamt of working many year ago, is screwing my respect for it day by day!! 

First by the Microsoft Sales Person AKA Microsoft Student Partners(MSP) programme and now I by the promotion of "Scroogled" merchandise in their store!

I can't imagine that the world's leading software company does not have an efficient marketing team that they are depending on college students for marketing their product (without any financial incentive let alone TA for attending their so called Annual MSP Summit)! I had heard that it used to be a good initiative long ago, but the standards are seriously degrading now! But I kept calm because I felt that the MSP Programme in India was led by some others and not Microsoft directly!

So it became: MSP - Redefining the meaning of evangelism!

Next, do they have to defame another company (or its products) in order to sell their products? I do not know! If their products were that great, people would prefer it over the former! I have never heard even a single person praising the legendary IE outside Microsoft Forums/Groups. If someone is so particular about their personal data, why don't they purchase some paid services! You can't expect these companies to be doing social service! I wish the company spends their time and money on improving their services rather than pointing at others. Instead of stopping xbox and Bing, they should rather stop these kind of activities.
