It's amazing me to me that you can think this of any large company. Sure, our people are trained to go after the competition, but our sales force is no more or less unethical than the next company's sales force. They all use marketing hype and hard sales tactics, that's part of sales, as opposed to tech support. But I've never seen anybody or any course at MS that said "Lie, cheat, steal, do whatever it takes to win." I have seen people say "Work, work harder, and then work harder. Do whatever work you have to do to win." So, while I'm sure we've done things that were misleading or even wrong (people sometimes go to far and have to be reprimanded or let go), I don't see this happening or being encouraged to happen more so than any other company (all 3) that I've worked at. -R Disclaimer: I work at MS, and my opinions do not reflect MS policy or actions.
