Why should we care what one big corporation does to another?
Do they offer an acceptable product at an acceptable price?
Do they support it and sustain it?
Then, who cares if they sell 3 million or 5 million?

As a standard procedure, I mistrust secretive companies. In a world where value is subjective, and it is bound to the perceptions of people, such secrecy can bring a company from hero to zero in no time. Secrecy is the mother of deception, and deception is the sister of theft.
