I disagree, Microsoft exploits people (not just users) in a different way than Google.

They strong arm with laptop manufacturers to nearly force users to pay for a Windows license for all device (non-Windows laptops exist, but let’s be honest, it’s insignificant).

They get into beds with gov to get license deals (with taxpayers’ money).

Not to mention the rampant telemetry on Windows that can’t ever be fully turn off.

And a paid-for Windows 10/11 has Tik Tok and Candy Crush ads?

Google and Microsoft are bad, no need to pick just one.
