Sorry Marti, but that doesn't make any sense.

How will using and promoting Windows 8 damage it?
How will putting money into Microsoft's bank damage them?

Nobody needs to inflict any damage on Microsoft right now, they're doing
a great job of that all by themselves, far more effectively than anyone
else could possibly dream of. And the most damaging thing by far is the
public's almost unanimous rejection of Windows 8.

Your actions only serve to undermine that.

What else, exactly, do you expect to accomplish by supporting Microsoft
and its products, if not the advancement of Microsoft's interests?

If there's a joke hidden in the subtext, I'm afraid I can't see it.
