Europe already starting to test that… EU digital sovereignity is only really in its infancy with France, Germany and Denmark leading the way in moving quickly away from it. Thanks partly (mostly) to Trump ordering them to block access to ICC.
9 staff members, 6 Judges received sanctions from Trump for investigating Israel for warcrimes.
So it’s not just Microsoft.
MasterCard and visa, Google etc… all slowly going to feel the affects.
That’s what Linux had needed for years. The reason Windows took over was because they won the business/government market.
Omce the tools for business/government mature and companies start offering proprietary software compatable with Linux by default, it will snowball.

Let’s hope you’re right and our governments will really start to move away from these evil tools.
I hope my country joins the movement.

It is corny (because we hear it so often), but it’s true. You don’t have to start any movement on your own etc. But plant the seed in other peoples head.
No conspiracy theory, no ‘fake news’ etc.
I won’t agree fully with the Sovereignty movement until I know it’s not being used.
But just facts. Maybe it will reach enough ears that someone will decide to do something about it that will start your country to join the movement away from US big tech.
TRUMP best success !

People are forced to use that at work because there’s no option apparently. Open office, libre office… LA LA LA LA…
In Spain administrations and companies since years are using LibreOffice and other alternative suites, simply because they save a lot of money with it, apart an easier adaptation for their specific use (FOSS).
Europe has a lot of excelent, oft even better, alternatives to the US Big Tech. Not to use it isn’t a tech problem, but a political and lobby one. There are also more and more computer shops selling devices without OS (FreeDOS by default), installing the needed OS on demand.
I upvoted you, because by and large you are right. As a caveat though some people do have office tied up in automated workflows with scripting in some sort of M$-language. In that case you would have technical hurdles in addition to lobbying and politics.
That is the point, there isn’t a really perfect OS, it always depends of what you need and what you want to do with it. Linux has a lot of advantages, but also some big flaws which made it not so good for some tasks. It’s eg. still not so plug-and-play like Windows for everything, there are too much different distros, not always compatible one with another, apart also some with a deficient maintanance. Due to Windows is the by far most used OS, it has also a way bigger Soft catalogue as any othe OS, even in FOSS and professional apps. Maybe this will change in the future. But on the other hand, as said before, it needs an advanced intervention to turn it in a fast and reasonable private OS.
We were talking office suites, but yeah. Though M$ should have lost the OS wars not against Linux (it was a fledgling OS at the time) but other systems of the day. OS/2 was what a stable win3 should have been. VMS or true64 Unix could do stuff windows server could only dream of. Yet marketing to pointy haired bosses brought MS the victory, not technical merit.
Well, I mencioned the OS, because I don’t know much users of MS Office on Linux. Certainly for servers the best option is always Linux. OK, UNIX, AFAIK Windows is also based on UNIX, it even has still its paleolitic Finger Protocol, even present and usable in current Windows 11 (I don’t know why, but there it is).
Write in the command line to demostrate it (a simple hello from me):
finger zerush@happynetbox.comor type simply
fingerin the console, which listed the syntax optionsYou can create a own handle using https://happynetbox.com/, this at least permits an communication system when all other fails.
Fuck this guy in particular. One of the wall street scum bags at the same level as a16z. If they think something is good you can bet it’s the opposite.
lets take that as a challenge!
“Impossible to replace” 🤣🤣🤣
Gee thx Bill, nobody really knew what kind of company Microslop was until you explained it.
Thats always where things are right before the over leveraging of a company’s market dominance makes them less competitive and they fall off 😅
Watch me, bitch.
Nokia and Blackberry anyone? Or how about any of the massive social networks that have been and gone? The downfall of a product or a company used by tens of millions of people is usually caused from within.
Deluded
what does the 365 package give me that i dont have with a 3 dollar office 2016 key?
also with all this fuckin money, how does he not have a presentable background at either the office or at home? are you this eager to use ai in every second of your life?
Email and cloud storage basically
What I would give to not use outlook or teams…
In fact I might just have to quit
Security updates - for most IT departments not having these is a non-starter
Microsoft is doing a good job of doing just that
Lol
