    Microsoft does Microsoft things.

    I complain about the EU and my own technical incompetent government for a simple reason:

    For years now, we have Open Source Software that is good enough ™ for the public sector, and for example the French police showed already that you can move to Linux (https://www.zdnet.com/article/french-police-move-from-windows-to-ubuntu-linux/).

    The EU should get independent of Microsoft for something so important like the IT infrastructure, instead of painting lipstick on a pig.

    Edit: And if the EU is independent from Microsoft, I would prefer to use a messaging system like Matrix instead of blowing money into something like Slack.

      I’m the same way, but about the US. I think it’s really dumb that the military uses a priority operating system when they could have complete control with Linux or FreeBSD. Likewise for schools and whatnot.
