    Good to see - especially in government this is needed. In my team at work we are taking some mouse steps to reduce our Microsoft-dependence, but the enterprise at large is really deep into it all, and I learned today that there are some more systems being integrated soon, Purview and Defender being two of them. It will be really difficult getting out of this.

    I have challenged my boss on what our strategy is to manage the business risk that a total lock-in of a single American company presents, given the geopolitical tensions, but I have yet to recieve a reply. My guess is that if we suffer along with everyone else that chooses similarly, no one’s head will roll because it is what everyone else is doing. Nevermind us going bankrupt, that’s a small price to pay to avoid getting any blame. Like back in the day when you wouldn’t get fired for choosing IBM.
