This is giving some serious "take a position then write an article to try and prove it's the right one" vibes. The "data" cited is laughable, as is the analysis. Meta did RTO and just had one of the strongest quarte

Seems like an OS problem. They should fix that.

Facebook uses Outlook, Amazon uses multiple MS products internally (and computers), and Microsoft of course. Not to mention all of these company's non-technical organizations leverage Microsoft software because of, you know, the ease o

At least 3 of the 5 big tech companies "impose" ms products and have done so for years as they grew. You're gonna miss out on a lot of upside with that mentality. To each their own though.

Does that mean local business would be cut out of internet advertising because ads can't be shown based on your city/state/country? That would be a tangible loss. "The amount of privacy we've globally lost" doe

That is a MUCH larger investment than shipping some client side code though.

You conveniently left out the part where they address that: > Unfortunately, the more structured, proactive alternatives cost a lot more of my time and effort, so it's all around less effective.

I think Zuckerberg is excited. Apple will only expand the market. I think it will be strictly beneficial to Quest regardless of what the blog/tech comparisons say.
