The only customer Microsoft seems to care about or is really even cognizant of its responsibilities towards, is Microsoft itself. Every single one of its products and services exists solely because and only for as long as some division of Microsoft believes it requires those specific things and whatever they're meant to evolve into over time, in order to manage its increasingly complex and ever expanding internal operations.
