With Microsoft bodging the operating system by disabling offline accounts, cramping AI in everything and obviously don't giving a flying f*** about your personal data: how far did you come sweeping that company from your or your family members life?

For me, it is still hard to evade Microsoft, as for reasons, companies and governments are still buying into that ecosystem (Teams, OneDrive, Office, Azure, ...).

Did you manage to cut or phase Microsoft out?

I agree that Windows is bad, and getting worse. But for them it works well enough. Idealistically, I'd like to move them over, but in practice there's barely any benefit in it for an incredible amount of effort and (limited) time spent for anyone involved.

Recall isn't a reason either, especially not with the banking argument: if they want to transfer money, they fill out a piece of paper, go to the bank and put it in a mailbox for those. They don't do online banking. All they do is email, and one of them edits a couple of photos. They are used to the software that's Windows-only. They know where on the screen to click. That's it. It doesn't matter if it's Windows or not. I also have no argument they care about to convince them.

If i wasn't on my phone I could write much more detailed explanation, but I am, so this will have to do.
