Yes I do. I am very sceptic about any corporate. No matter what they say
their first goal will be to get(earn) as much money as possible.
If you ask any of Microsoft people I bet they will also claim that they
put the user first. Same goes for Ford, Exxon, Coca Cola ... (name your
favorite/hated company).

I am willing to admit that some people as individuals are honest,
well meaning, good, ... but if we are talking about company I will
dispute any such trait.
