No, you completely misunderstand. My advice doesn't even apply to you really, because apparently you took my advice years ago, since you said you already left the MS ecosystem. I'm not being defeatist, I'm pushing people to look for alternatives, because MS is not going to turn into a good corporate citizen, nor is the government going to force them to. If people don't like getting screwed over, it's their responsibility to find a vendor that won't. Apparently, you even agree with me, because you've done just that. I'm just pushing for everyone else to do the same. But sitting around waiting for everyone else to follow you isn't going to work; if everyone has that mentality, then nothing will change.
