Week 3- Ethics and social responsibility

Since Microsoft is such a large corporation, it must ensure that everything it does is in the best interest of everyone. This is shown when millions of xbox consoles became inoperable because of overheating.This caused the consoles to flash 3 red lights around the console's circular power button (this is more popularly known as the red rings of death). Microsoft quickly reacted by allowing everyone to send their consoles in for free repairs. While Microsoft did lose an estimated 1.4 Billion dollars, it strengthened the loyalty of it's customers.
