Reality check on Microsoft (www.windowscentral.com)

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 don't have Windows 10 on my personal laptop, it's all Linux Debian. Surprisingly on my work laptop, Windows 11 is usable and hasn't been as annoying.

The bigger trouble would be decoupling from OneDrive and Office Online. Yeah. I also want to decouple from Google Docs.
