I'm not sure why people are expecting Microsoft to act altruistically in this merger. They're a publicly traded company that exists to create profit for their shareholders, and they're not going to do a single thing that won't increase their profits.
Mergers like this are always bad for the consumer, and the FTC is betraying the citizens by letting it happen.
I’m sorry there were people expecting Microsoft to act altruistically??
Yes? At the time of my comment all of the other comments were people hoping it would be a good thing.
