Let's hope for the catastrophic scenario. A world without Microsoft.. no telemetry or backdoors. Please continue on this track to disaster!

Accelerationists seem to think the world after a vacuum is going to be some utopia

I think more competition is better than less

[windexh8er]

More competitionis better. If you take the market share and revenue off the table and spread that around in a competitive market you'd be in a much more interesting spot with respect to technology advancements. Instead we continue to stagnate with bullshit like Windows 10 --> Windows 11. Windows 11 was never supposed to exist, but $$$$$. There's literally nothing worth paying for in that upgrade. But Microsoft knows it can milk businesses and schools out of ridiculous profits for, essentially, the same garbage and also collude with hardware manufacturers to sell more PCs.

It's not only MS with an interest in maintaining these misfeatures in consumer tech. It's not even only private industry.

Indeed! I'll wait on the penguin or fruit side with some pop-corn and see where the things are going to.

Seems like the fruit vendor is on the same train as MS if not just a few cars behind yet still arriving at the same destination.
