@lightweight That's what I was alluding to. The Gates Foundation has been exposed. These probably aren't news to you.

@niles_corder@mstdn.io Microsoft still has a strong barrier to entry in place. The monopoly is not dead and was never really remedied. @kyle@mstdn.io
@kyle I think you're missing all the corporate sales. My office develops embedded products using C language. All of our compilers are based on hardware platform, but the company as a whole has standardized on Microsoft, so every dev has an MS professional developer license. $$$ Plus any additional licenses they are paying for TFS, Teams, Office, etc. @lightweight @lunduke
@lightweight @kyle @lunduke much Like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, trying to hide the evil under the good.
@lunduke On data mining, it's hard to tell how much Microsoft is doing that off of Bing, but in the past (and maybe still in the present) they've mined data from OS installs and Office installs. Given that there's money to be made, I'd bet they're doing it with Bing as well.
Until Google gets to a place where it's they've restricted choice as much as Microsoft has, they're not even 1 times as bad as Microsoft. I can use Firefox without jumping through hoops; I can't say the same for non-Windows.
