Microsoft does Microsoft things.

I complain about the EU and my own technical incompetent government for a simple reason:

For years now, we have Open Source Software that is good enough ™ for the public sector, and for example the French police showed already that you can move to Linux (https://www.zdnet.com/article/french-police-move-from-windows-to-ubuntu-linux/).

The EU should get independent of Microsoft for something so important like the IT infrastructure, instead of painting lipstick on a pig.

Edit: And if the EU is independent from Microsoft, I would prefer to use a messaging system like Matrix instead of blowing money into something like Slack.
