It bothers me as a Windows user. Microsoft has a responsibility to support people who use Office, Skype, LinkedIn, GitHub, Azure, etc. A TikTok deal gone wrong endangers all of that.

The most dangerous form of mindlessness in the C-Suite today is the urge to merge. Why did successful telecom AT&T buy a failing satellite TV business? The TikTok merger is something a CEO would think up off the cuff while smoking dope with Elon Musk. I want to know that a CEO isn't quick on the draw for mergers.
