Oh no! This is very very bad. Any good will one may direct toward Lego
and its products certainly won't be redirected toward Microsoft,

Don't worry too much about this. It seems like typical marketing

It's probably going to affect games and software, as well as shared
web content.

Now, if I was Michael Lachmann, I'd be asking for a meeting with
the fine folks at Microsoft or LEGO about now....
