Wanna bet U.S. company lobbying will push the current administration to pressure the EU over these shifts away from Microsoft? And bring it into the ongoing tariff negotiations?

Wanna bet this campaign to ditch Microsoft for free software is a negotiating tactic to get a better deal on a support contract from Microsoft?

Good for Lyon! Windows 11 seems the perfect vector for foreign espionage.

On "reciprocal" tariffs I think many countries are making preparations to wait it out while telling the current lot to fuck off. Look at Japan.
