Is AI at the same level of global instant comunication and gigabites of bandwidth?
Does it have to be for the analogy to work?
It's a trap. We can already run almost all Linux apps via other solutions like termux, qpython and others. They want to kill all of it, but they can't just do it without a pr hit.
So they just "pretend" to bring in crappy Linux support while removing what people actually use. You want terminal apps on that Linux? (99% of what I use) You need to connect a USB keyboard. Oh, you want X11 apps? They need to ve rebuilt with our "library" (that will probably require significant redevelopment). And so on.
No, I don't trust Google neither other monopolies.

Gogle can do whatever they want to qpython and termux, 99% of the population will not care at all

MS is hardly remote. Lots of people being asked to come back. Just not a blanket statement like Amazon.
Who is being asked to come back?

Yes. There were kernel mode drivers before that ruling, it is essentially entirely irrelevant to this outage.
Those kernel mode drivers operated in a way that would not bring down the entire system if they crashed

Microsoft can kick security vendors out the kernel, but they can't sell a product that uses APIs not accessible to other vendors.
Sure, but my question still stands - would this have happened if the EU had not made that ruling?

At least they're not blaming the European Union in this breakdown (as they did earlier).
Would this still have happened if the EU had not ruled against Microsoft?

Opinion: as an expat, I'm not sure who would join the CAF nowadays. Not much to be proud of in my opinion. Without exaggerating, not a single person I grew up with is doing well, and I had to leave Canada to start my family.
What is happening in Canada to cause this?
