Take a week off. Both of you.

Come back the next week, see how much the production figures dropped, then say "That's how much we're worth." :P

In terms of units or moneys, can't be those results.

I don't know how you can even attempt to draw a parallel to that.

Comparing Google functionality to water. That's ridiculous. Water is fundamentally necessary to life. Google is not.

Did we manage before Google came around? You bet.
Would we cope if Google closed their doors tomorrow morning? You bet.

Microsoft, like any other company, does not REALLY have an obligation to customers, they can close whenever they want. They shouldn't be able to disable software that you have PAID for without notice. What DRM'd music store attempted to close their doors and disable their DRM servers? Yahoo I think it was.

Corporations have an obligation to stockholders, and that's it. To think otherwise is completely naive.
