Microsoft either has a good product that is wanted or it doesnt and was anticompetitive. cough cough.
The EU absolutely should try to stand up their own tech infrastructure. Entire supply chain. chips, software, everything. Absolutely needs to happen eventually.
The problem with the EU is singlular; there has been loads of anti-microsoft folks attempting to beat them for basically forever. Unsuccessfully. They dont have anyone who can; if they did they could just me like hey XYZ here's a trillion $, make us independent.
All the EU really has is regulation. Which by itself will prevent investment from ever giving them independence. The irony that their future of independence depends on extreme deregulation.

- incomingpain 2y agoRealistically I look at that and think there's not a snowballs chance in hell that the EU is going to accomplish that. Not even in 100 years. Not without major regulation changes anyway. Mind you, they absolutely do need to, so get started right away.
