  I am using a lot of open source (e.g. Linux) and if I have the choice I mostly don't use Microsoft software. Nevertheless, I don't really care if Microsoft will sunset at some point in the future. In fact, I care about being able to keep my data private and be able to use my services independently. As long as that is possible I am okay with Microsoft/Google/Amazon selling others their golden cloud services. It is more a live and let live attitude.

  Agreed. But it’s every major player in tech. I wish the political desire to regulate markets existed. We have these huge corporations, and few else. They just don’t employ enough people, and their products leave people wanting. As far as seeing anyone sunset, I don’t. But I do hope to see the end to homelessness and needless brutalism.

    The only way you'll see real solutions is when we are allowed to see what spyware they have put into Windows for all these years.
