Microsoft is under fire for threatening a security researcher with criminal investigation.

It's rare to see near-universal condemnation from the #infosec community, but #Microsoft threatening a #security #researcher has done it.

Microsoft is going to crash and burn soon, imho.

The world can no longer rely on American companies software, when #Trump may order Microsoft to deny access to a country, or worse, order backdoors in the software.

#France is showing #Windows the door, and replacing it with #Linux, for #DigitalSovereignty, #security and Billions of Euros in cost savings.

#India , known for its #jugaad ( frugality and innovation ) may soon follow suit. When that happens, the center of gravity shifts towards #FreeSoftware and the game changes.

#MSFT has seen the sharpest declines in its entire existence, this year.

We are in the Free Software world, approaching the time when, if you say, "I have a computer program you can use, but I won't show you the source code, and you have to pay me for it, and you can only use it on my terms, and you have to pay for upgrades, and I can declare your computer obsolete and make you buy another if I decide.", you will be laughed out of town.
