As I understand it the EU is giving a big F off to US tech companies and will start doing their own stuff. Canada should do the exact same. Get the big tech giants the boot, I am all for open sourcing the whole government computer stuff.

100%... yet we are pretending to do that while giving Microslop all the contracts

It is a chicken or the egg thing, people use windows at home so employers and educators use windows at their work places. For the most part at least.

We need to teach boards of education that they could save money if instead of using windows or chromium they used Linux we could force businesses to adapt to the new people coming into the work force. If we could convince governments to make the switch, we would be that much closer to socialism!

I agree with your point but it has nothing to do with the topic here. Nobody storing data in Microslops Azure would see or notice what cloud it is (as a matter of fact most of Azure is Linux)

The choice of giving Microslop our data to hold and pretend we are building a sovereign cloud is absolutely absurd.
