Response to Christian Torti's Post-Microsoft signs android patent deal with Foxconn

I believe this is a bad thing for Microsoft.  I'm sure if more people in society knew this about Apple product, the poor conditions of the makers of their product, they would lose a lot of business.  So if people learn that Microsoft is using these poor workers, people would get turned off from their products.  It comes does to the customer always, and customers will not respond well to the mistreatment of workers.  But there is the other side of it, that even though Apple does use these workers, they still generate huge sales.  So maybe Microsoft will not be hurt that bad.  And if they are not hurt in sales, they are making their product cheaper.  It is a double edged sword, but I believe that Microsoft should not turn to Foxconn for work.
