What about their OS, Office Suite, DBs, etc? Do they turn down sales of those on human rights concerns too? Will Microsoft stop taking "telemetry" data with its software?

Would they reject any sales to saudi arabia, china, israel or even the US military if human rights concerns arise?

If this is part of a genuine ethical paradigm shift within the company, then I commend them for it. But if this is just a one-time PR move, then my opinion of Microsoft has dropped considerably.
