They sued the government to keep from handing over customer data stored overseas. Isn't that a pretty strong stance on privacy?

They could certainly strengthen their stance in some areas, though, such as by including Bitlocker in all versions of Windows and using strong E2E encryption in Skypep. But I'm not sure that the majority of people would use Bitlocker anyway.

Did you forget about Prism? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jul/11/microsoft-nsa-...
