Police officers arrested 18 people at worker-led protests at Microsoft headquarters Wednesday as the tech company promises an “urgent” review of the Israeli military’s use of its technology during the ongoing war genocide in Gaza.
Two consecutive days of protest at the Microsoft campus in Redmond, Washington called for the tech giant to immediately cut its business ties with Israel.
The problem is, there’s a lot of compartmentalization
The people working on the Israel projects are probably going to be on board with what they’re doing, so I guess you could sabotage Windows a little?

Sure you cant advertise it on social media but if its done right then only God would know.

The monopolistic profit model means that maintenance and other “non-value-added activities” are often reduced to a minimum.
It might be functionally impossible to tell the difference from the outside.
