This possibly because Microsoft endorses it; makes everyone suspicious.
Probably not so much because they are into money but indecent amounts of
money. But then it might be different if I was a shareholder.
The other reason being there is not a great deal of information around
about this issue which people have an interest in or maybe time to access?
So thanks for adding your view to this topic. That's one of the benefits
of a list like this.
Be well,
Charlie
