Microsoft, Indian-Giver

I received an email from Microsoft informing me that they were reducing the amount of free OneDrive (cloud space) from 15GB to 5GB. It goes on to say “As a result of these changes, you will be over your OneDrive storage limit on July 13, 2016 (visit the Storage page to check your account). You can learn more at our FAQ. To ease this transition, claim a free one-year subscription to Office 365.”

This is a new low even for Microsoft. I mean no offense to Native Americans, but isn’t this an offensive case of corporate Indian-Giving? Being from the state of Washington, it is all too reminiscent of the land grab the U.S. imposed on Chief Seattle that gave rise to his famous oration - a must read.

Have you no shame Microsoft?
