Default Europe as a Microsoft colony

Yesterday there was docu on German tsate bnTV, first channel ARD, named "Das Microsoft Dilemma". It showed amongst other detauls how stupid and cluelessly - and ruthlessly - politicians push nation and EU into the abusive hands of Microsoft, bending and violating existing national and internaitonal laws, and how Microsoft wins profist ranging in the mutlip,e hunbdreds of millions per year with licenses that get negoatiated time and again by said incompetent clueless polticians, and abusive lobbyists. It also hinted and the dependecny created here, voluntarily and needlessly, becasue there are altenrtives, and they arew richer in variety and numbers than many people know. Or does anyone think Google, Apple, Facebook are so stupid like the EU or the German govenrment to share their most vital secrets with a company that serves as the accomplice of the American data gathering services and business spies ...? OF COURSE they either run their own Os instead, of open source: Linux, and Android. They wozuld be stupid to use Microsoft malware and spyware and paying a yearly fortune for this "service". Finally, the authors also hinted at the critical security crisis the wide distribution of Microsoft code has caused, and how it corrupts state's security interests.

I knw most of what they said, and still - when you get it presneted in such a compact format, you cannot helpt but again get very angry about politicians. And consumers.

Here is a 5 minute trailer in English.


Here is the German original full docu (45 minutes), you can switch on English bot-translation.


Stiop thinkling Micorsoft is good, or essential for your digitla life. It is not. Its bad, its abusive, and expensive. Its low quality. Its spyware and malware. And it is not without alternatives (plural).
