Huh. While I don’t like some of what microsoft has been doing, they seem to have realized their domination of OS software market share and the viability of their other ventures depends on not being totally evil. It’s not that they haven’t tried, its that Windows 11 and 10 were going to basically have built-in spyware and yet it never got past the early stages because they were caught red-handed. Ever since the 90s anti-trust suit, they’ve been surprisingly half-hearted in pulling the kind of crap that other companies do, in that they barely try to hide it and inevitably get caught.
I do have a linux distro on standby, but for now I stick with Windows 10 because I still feel microsoft hasn’t gone too far and - if people continue keeping watch over the watch man - will hopefully never get the chance to.
