    I am just seriously tired of the EU investing time and energy

    Then complain to Microsoft for continuing to push the boundaries. This lawsuit wouldn’t have happened if Microsoft didn’t do the same thing that got them in trouble before, i.e. with browsers.

      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.
