EU should really just start prohibiting Microsoft from public procurement and education.

  Not only for anti-monopoly reasons but for data-protection reasons as well. It's hard to swallow that any public service uses Microsoft after the Schrems-II verdict.

  I'd agree but there seems to be an epidemic of baby-duck syndrome, as people refuse to even take the first step to learn anything other than Windows. Additionally, there is a lot of legacy Win32 applications still in use by gov't and institutions.

  This (banning MS products in education) is difficult. Schools rarely consider anything else because it's what "business" uses, and so there's a lot of push-back from both students and parents whenever a school suggests moving away from Microsoft. I'm secretary of the parents association of a rather large European school, and face this argument at least once a year.
