Christian Ethics

Usage of a product is an explicit endorsement of that product and an implicit, if not explicit endorsement of the company that created the product.

As such, is it ethical, and moral for a Christian to use any products from Microsoft?

Microsoft has been convicted of violating two of the Ten Commandments.

Almost as disturbing is Microsoft's announcement that they intend to violate two more of the Ten Commandments.

I'll grant that Contemporary American Christianity and both the Two Commandments of the New Testament, and the Ten Commandments (any of the three sets in the Tanakh, and two sets in the New Testament) are mutually exclusive.

Why not bend the rules

I wandered far today. Up several hills and dales. Then found a store that sells Sparletta Cream Soda.

I'll ignore the price for now, except to say that a twelve pack of coke costs less than a single can costs.

But the taste is wonderful.
That creamy sensation bubbling though, with an after taste of roses.
