This is a 43 minute video. Has anyone watched it in full length? I haven't, but I (European) agree with the title.

- BlueTemplar 3y agoIt's nice, but there's probably nothing new there for your typical HN reader (unless if they're young I guess ?) It's also dangerously focused on Microsoft and complacent with "cloud" software. Google has already been winning their wrestling match over desktop computing for some time now, they shouldn't be helped. And with shittier software as a result. Also while using "Microsoft sounds" in the music is cute, I can't help but think that it's a bit like using Nazi music (Wagner ??) in a documentary critical of Nazis...
- decide1000 3y agoIt is focused on Microsoft because it is about the relationship between states and the European Commission with Microsoft. They show that Microsoft does not follow the same procedures like 'normal' tenders. Also MS employees have .gov email addresses and the states are not allowed to show how much money they pay M$. It is not biased against Microsoft. It is about Microsoft based on journalism and decent research.
- BlueTemplar 3y agoWe are in full agreement there, but my issue with this documentary remains.
