        Let's hope they do not use Windows in the control pc of their new nuclear plant...

        M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                    From the link "Microsoft spent six months collaborating with Terra Praxis, a nonprofit that advocates for transforming old coal plant sites into modern SMR[Small modular reactor] homes." So in 200 years I suspect they will install the first one after clearing all of the regulatory, social protests and legal lawsuits.

They probably would still have hired that one guy even if they hadn't been the world's most valuable company. Does he command that big of a salary?

                            Including financial liability? I'd rather go with the company that has the deepest pockets. The small fish can just declare bankruptcy and disappear.

                              I doubt it makes any difference to the corpses whether they died because of cost cutting or because of corner cutting. :sigh:
