I don't think an EULA absolves you of any possible liability. Courts can more or less decide to ignore it if they see sufficient reasons to.

I don't think Romans invented sewage systems or plumbing. That existed all over the Mediterranean for hundreds of years prior we just don't know much about them (no written sources, less archaeological research/evidence etc.)

Presumably employees are more expensive than property here. Both paying them to take care off and loss incurred because they left to work somewhere else where the conditions are better.

Why? Both things seem pretty tangential. Poorly written software exists or can exist on any platform, just like the IT infrastructure wouldn't somehow automagically become robust if they just switched to Linux.

Well you can use stupid broken software with any OS, not just Windows. Isn't CrowdStrike Falcon available on Linux, is there any reason why couldn't they have introduced a similar bug and similar consequences there?

So far MSFT is down by ~2%... Even Crowdstrike is only -20%. When they probably did more damage in a day their entire net worth.

I'm not sure that's so obvious these days at least. The era of tech mega corps just being able to buy up all the competition seems to be mostly over(ish) for now (.e.g Figma, ARM, Broadcom/Qualcomm, Visa/Plaid)

Is Microsoft making billions from Teams? I assume they only made it to enhance the value of their office suite/subscription. It's a bit like saying that that them bundling PowerPoint together with their other apps is unfair toward
