The military is a MS customer, just like nearly everyone else on the planet. Calling them a “defense contractor” is a very long stretch.

Boeing is a defense contractor. Northrup is a defense contractor.

MS? Not even a chance. What percent do you think of their business is actually government, beyond buying licenses just like nearly every other corporation on the planet.
