"Microsoft signs Android patent deal with Foxconn"

In my Management Information Systems class, we recently watched a video about Foxconn, a Chinese  company that is notorious for the creation of Apple products in horrible working conditions. Employees are subject to extremely low pay and long hours, as well as housing and meal plans which they have to pay for themselves. There have been reports saying that Microsoft has just signed an agreement with the company as well.

Do you think that this is a good or bad thing for Microsoft, seeing as how the company could get some bad press from this arrangement?
