It'll be interesting to see how the new administration deals with all of the big tech antitrust investigations and lawsuits it inherits. On one hand Trump and the Republicans hate these corporations, and would love the opportunity to take them down a notch. On the other their entire governing agenda is about deregulation, dismantling of federal agencies and being pro-business. Interesting situation to be in.

This is true but he is also in bed with tech oligarchs now so he will be interesting to see how he balances this and who's demands he caves to.
Edit: ignore this first sentence. I mistook two people. It originally said “Then why paint this as an issue with the left?” Because that’s what the original person who is now flagged was doing. Remaining comment below. —— It seems both parties have similar targets but for different reason. I think Microsoft and Google are most likely feel the brunt of the government after Trump is back in, because it greatly benefits…
One thing I want to call out is that everyone thinks Satya is some kind of soft, nice person. He joined Microsoft in 1992. He is 100% part of the old Microsoft guard. Sure he may have continued Ballmer’s bet on Bing/services into Azure/O365/etc and turned the company’s valuation around. But he is definitely familiar with the entire playbook of Microsoft using its existing products, existing contracts/renewals, existing capital, existing staff to copy others, bundle, undercut, and keep taking over market segments that under fair competition would go to other more deserving companies like startups.

Oh, honey[1].
If the apparatchik remains spineless and lets them get away with it, there'll be some remnants the supposed agenda, but I think the real agenda is whatever makes them money. Already people close to him are charging others for access to him/cushy jobs[2]. Gosh, I'm trying to re-find this commentary account where it's headlines out of Washington but written like the way western media writes about some despotic African nation, but maybe I just need to wait until January.
Heck, Trump even bilked taxpayers by charging SS members a lot of money for accomodation in Mar-A-Lago or Trump Tower, and they had/have to stay there because they were guarding him [3]...

You must have me mistaken with the person you initially replied to because I'm not painting it as a right or left issue.

If I’m reading this correctly, it seems to focus largely on Microsoft services tying you to Azure? This could be a pretty big boon to self hosting if successful.
