It's as if Microsoft decided that people who haven't already left Windows either have no choice or just don't care, so they will tolerate everything.

#13It’s the OneDrive installing new OneDrive Photos app. It happens on any Windows version, such as Server 2025 that has OneDrive installed. It isn’t limited to Windows 11.
Oh yay. Now our terminal server can have OneDrive Photos AND Teams installed for every single user profile.

A few days ago I installed CachyOS, and I'm in the middle of transferring stuff from Windows. I, who used them all - MS-DOS, 3.11, 95, 98, you name it. I'm tired, boss.

But you're an individual. For businesses it's probably very painful, the OS is buggy, slow, and killing productivity, but the cost to switch is too distruptive for them to do.
I wonder if a Linux advocacy group could offer a deal of "rather than paying MS the next 12 months to remain hostage to them in 12 months' time, pay us whatever you're paying MS for 6 months, and we'll help you transition from MS in a 6-month timeline" (or whatever number is realistic after a consultation). Of course this means paying double for those 6 months (once to MS, and once to the group), but after that the company will be running on free software!

I don't think that's the case now that nearly everything is delivered through a web browser.

One of the issue is that companies take "free software" as in free beer, not as In freedom, so they pay tens of thousands of dollars to closes source software companies and then won't donate a cent to open source software that they daily.

#20Is this part of the new focus on quality and respect they announced a couple of months ago, or is that yet to come?
