- zanny 9y agoThis is coming from an area where Microsoft has a vicegrip on all government software to the tune of 99% of the market, and then runs smear campaigns and tries to bribe politicians in that last 1% to adopt them. Most politicians are technologically illiterate and when the people they know are those with the most money to get closest its going to be big corporate interests that get their ear.
