I dunno. I feel like they are like the cable company now. They will jus sit there twiddling their nipples while we are all fucked.
I need the cable company (or similar) due to the fact that infrastructure is hard to deploy, and we need Internet to participate in society.
Nobody needs Microsoft cause every single one of their products has an alternative that's at least as good.
They survive by courting enterprises, but many of them can also switch away if they want.
How long until they successfully lobby the US government to make FOSS illegal somehow
Oh really, how bummed would they be?
They will be fine. They are second most valuable company in the world. They have money to throw around and their source of income still seem inexhaustible. A few new Linux users won't even make a dent.
Sorry to be so blunt, but it's the truth no matter what we are wishing for.
If this was true (not that they are the 2nd most valuable company, that much is clear), why would they bend over and support W10 for another year in the EU while fucking up everyone else? There are ways for companies that seem to be immortal to self-destroy. Intel for example. Did any of us thought that they could burst 10 years ago? And look at them now, crawling asking for help.
All you need is a seriously bad decision, then doubling down on it, and just watch it spiral down until they crash.
The seemingly endless access to money only makes the process take longer, it's not a shield from catastrophic failure.
It's very much true. W10 was cause of pressure from companies and countries, not because of the odd Joe contemplating their os.
Any company may fall, but they can also fail from inaction. Ms has the option to get data no one else can. They can't afford not to.
