So how would you handle it if you saw someone beating their wife in the 
street?
Would you intervene? Would you use physical force to prevent it from 
happening?
Your ethical boundaries are more blurred than you think. 
At any rate, though, you must be certain that Microsoft hires top-rate 
accountants, lawyers, off-shore bankers, etc. to skirt on taxes, or business 
deals, etc. It is the name of the game in the high-dollar free market. 
Obviously, they bribe politicians, competitors' employees, etc. Is this 
ethically consistent with your ideals?
