Please don't attack people for showing up to engage in discussion like this. I'm sure you don't intend to, but it quickly becomes part of mob behavior. We don't want that on HN for obvious reasons, and I'm sure nobody intends it, exactly, but it happens all too easily anyhow.

I appreciate the reply. As mentioned, it happens unintentionally. One way to describe the (desired) HN community is everyone learning together how to avoid unintended effects.

Okay, but when will Microsoft?

Or is it a more charitable interpretation to suggest they did intend this to be the effect?

		No, I wouldn't argue that. The point is we need to do this for ourselves, regardless of what some company or other group of people do.
