    It doesn’t matter that interpreted literally, it’s not what happens to frogs. That’s not the point of the phrase, and certainly not the point the other commenter was making.

    They were trying to talk about Microsoft’s business practices, not about what happens if you were to literally start boiling a frog. Yes, we know they aren’t fine with it, it’s extremely well-known and completely irrelevant.
