For people using Windows, Microsoft of the 2020s is also like Microsoft of the 1990s, and possibly even worse. All the bundled apps, cloud requirements, “accidental” pushes of features that people had already declined, telemetry, etc.
- amelius 3y agoPerhaps, but Apple in the 2020s is certainly worse than Microsoft in the 1990s. At least Microsoft has Microsoft Research. All Apple does is milking developers.
- danShumway 3y agoI'll chime in and say I'm not really interested in who's worse. Microsoft, Apple, and Google are all abusive in their own ways and should all be broken up. When talking about antitrust it's very easy to slip into comparing companies (the Apple vs Windows narrative is one that Apple ingrained into culture for years), but all of these companies are terrible and we are fully capable of pursuing antitrust against all of them simultaneously. They don't have to be ranked.
