To clarify, this site would be for anyone with a question about Microsoft as a company or it's products, whereas SU is just it's products. – MatthewThepc Sep 11 '12 at 23:46

yet there is an Apple tag in superuser, and apple has it's own stack exchange Q&A site :) and superuser doesn't deal with questions like this one, which have to do with Microsoft and it's employees (ie as a company) instead of their technological products. – MatthewThepc Sep 5 '12 at 15:44
@matthewtopic workplace.stackexchange.com helps us to provide the employee regarding details – Lonely baby Sep 24 '12 at 14:58

closed as not a real question by Robert Cartaino♦ Feb 17 at 21:45

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form.

This question is not a good fit to our Q&A format. We expect answers to generally involve facts, references, or specific expertise; this question will likely solicit opinion, debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion.

This probably wouldn't be the best question since it's a pretty subjective question. One persons definition of morality could be very different from another's. – MatthewThepc Dec 5 '12 at 3:54
