Reality check on Microsoft (www.windowscentral.com)

With Microsoft bodging the operating system by disabling offline accounts, cramping AI in everything and obviously don't giving a flying f*** about your personal data: how far did you come sweeping that company from your or your family members life?

For me, it is still hard to evade Microsoft, as for reasons, companies and governments are still buying into that ecosystem (Teams, OneDrive, Office, Azure, ...).

Did you manage to cut or phase Microsoft out?

My home computers all run Linux (except for an old MBP I still have laying around somewhere). It works fine and I have no reason to want to switch back.

At work I use a Windows 10 thin client to connect to a Windows 11 AVD session so I can remote into a Windows Server 2022 VM. The company is currently investigating ways to chain itself to Microsoft even harder.

I've seen this, as well.

It takes a special kind of leader to see what is happening and lead the charge right into the teeth.
