Comment on Brian Eno, creator of the Windows 95 startup sound, calls on Microsoft to sever ties with Israel

While it’s very chivalrous of Eno to do so, clearly the same people are no longer running the company.
30 years is a long time in corporate culture. Eno isn’t a corporate guy so maybe he really just doesn’t understand how fast things can change with changing leadership.

He’s not saying this because he has influence with Microsoft directly. He’s doing it because he’s Brian Eno and he will be heard, and because of the respect he’s earned amongst his peers, he will be heard by people with even louder voices. So Microsoft and other companies and consumers will hear. Hopefully with enough acts like this, companies are shamed enough that it affects their bottom lines enough that they stop supporting genocide.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say most people under 35 have no idea who he is. Hell, unless they’re re a music aficionado, they probably don’t know who he is, no matter the age.

He was that one guy who made that one track, right?
(I’m 45 and know damn well who he is.)
