Facing pressure from investors and a shifting legal environment, the PC giant has decided to make it easier for people to repair their own stuff.
The initiative is a reaction to a shareholder resolution filed in June 2021 that demanded the company seriously consider the environmental impact of making its products easier to repair, which itself was fueled by the broader right to repair movement, which has been gaining steam and momentum for years. The shareholders partnered with As You Sow, a non-profit specializing in shareholder advocacy, to help them put pressure on Microsoft. It seems to have worked.

Very good initiative, however as far as such big corporations are considered, let us hope they will walk their talk.
