Do you view Microsoft as too big to fail because of the federal governments use of Office?


Yes, but the federal government uses far more than just Office.

Microsoft is very far from being at risk of failing, but if it did happen, I think it's very likely that the government keeps it alive. How much of a national security risk is it if every Windows (including Windows Server) system stopped getting patches?


Boeing will never crash. Intel neither. They are jewel assets.


I see what you did there.


Not sure if this is a real question but yes, I think Microsoft is too big to fail.


honestly I think of Microsoft was going to go bankrupt they probably would get treated like Boeing, yeah.
