I would not hold it against you that you make a living with MS, that said in the present they do plenty of stuff that they really shouldn't. So it's not just the previous generation, the current one is also anything but clean.

One could say the same about companies and organizations that you admit to supporting as well.

So, if all choices are bad choices, what are you left with?

Patent threats and lawsuits against Android OEMs. Sabotaging the office document standard process at ISO. Corruption in cases where governments explored switching to alternative operating systems. Locking down computers using UEFI Secure Boot and taking control away from the owners of the machine.

among other things.

I'll answer that. No more than any other for-profit enterprise.
