I also haven't read the article but apparently reading the comments the article has to do with Trump-era policies affecting Microsoft

discuss

order

Yeah, I skimmed the article too, but didn’t see much on Trump’s policies directly impacting Microsoft.

From what I gather, the bigger challenges for businesses are more about the tech ecosystem Microsoft has built. It's hard to just swap out core services like AD without huge disruptions.

The first paragraph links to an article about how the International Criminal Court ’s chief prosecutor has lost access to his email.

This has caused some governments to worry. What if MS was ordered to block access to their software because the US wanted to apply pressure?
