> Microsoft also argued that its Ireland subsidiary was in charge of 365, and therefore jurisdiction fell to Ireland. The authority rejected that argument, and decided it was Microsoft US that made the decisions
Them trying to use their subsidiary as a option to get away with this proves that they knew they were at fault. It's sad that we're stuck with their ecosystem for office work, this is what happens when a company gets monopoly. They can do this because there is no true competitor
The day I find a good replacement for Win10 and the Office suite. I'm packing my bags!
The last privacy act in the US, the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA) of 1988 wasn’t passed to protect public interest, but because someone leaked the rental history of a Supreme Court nominee. This shows us where the priorities lie.
Honestly for desktop computers, the mainstream Linux distros are pretty great these dyas. (Laptops are a mixed bag depending on the hardware, and there's no direct replacement for Office so you probably still need a Windows VM or WINE.)
