"The basic question that I believe Microsoft asked itself prior to this policy is: 'Where does personal responsibility begin and Microsofts end'."

Based purely on Microsoft's past actions, it's more likely that the basic question they asked is "how can we squeeze more money out of every man, woman and child on the planet without providing anything in return?"
