      @linuxisevil Microsoft tends to provide stock options to their employees, this gives them more incentive to work 80 hours / week and contribute to the companies financial growth, and if they’ve retained those stocks, then they retain an interest.

        That doesn’t even matter. If he worked at Microsoft he probably has a Microsoft attitude. Also I’ve noticed that the older programmers share his sentiment.

          You have no idea what you are talking about and nether does the Youtuber dude you linked to. This is the same guy who says Cloud strike was causes by a EU ruling. The ruling didn’t require Microsoft to give everyone full access. It just required that they don’t abuse there control of the OS to give themselves a unfair advantage. Another words, they need to give Zoom the same access as Teams to the OS.

          @linuxisevil I don’t really give a flying fuck if you buy it or not. If you want to use Windows be my guest, load up your spyware and controlware and have a good time.

      You haven’t given any evidence to support your claim. All you did was link to some Youtuber who repeats Microsoft propaganda. (Old propaganda at that)

      Vested interest? Literally vested stock options. Well, by now they’ve already been used to purchase stock.
