Well, they need to debug their IPV6 implementation before they can force
everyone to use it...

They screw me -- and I bash them : they still come out ahead by billions
of dollars every year.  I don't apologize to them for any accusation
I've ever made against them, no matter how irrational.

That seems rational, and I can't object to rational behavior, even if it
benefits M$.

But how can I excuse Bill for his rape and theft in order to maximize 
profits?  His behavior is rational, no matter how much I may object to 
it.  (And I most certainly do object to it!)

This is wandering far off topic into the realm of economics and 
theology, so you need not bother to respond.  In fact, it reminds me
of the arguments I have with my wife -- both sides lose.
