I don&#x27;t think it as much &quot;money&quot; as it is &quot;power&quot;. &quot;money&quot; unfortunately seems to have no opinion on this case. If it did, we see more wealthy people chiming in.

I am glad they are doing so in this case.<p>Microsoft is a bit too late the user security game. Since they don&#x27;t make their own CPUs, they can&#x27;t play in the same league.
