Oh I still remember the outrage when Android added support for allowing Carries to block this a few years ago. But the Google folks just said „works as intended“ and proceeded.

My main concern with companies like Lenovo or Asus building such devices on Windows is support. I have more trust in Valve to do this right.

I wasn’t talking about that and I’m unsure why you are making this about privacy. The topic was about market share and seizing control of certain markets. Microsoft is a really big player in that game and Google ist irrelevant in comparison.

This isn’t about just web browsers. Yes. Google is a step ahead in that field. And ten steps behind in most others.

What I was trying to convey to you is: Don’t downplay Microsoft just because Google is currently a relevant topic in one corner of it.

Yes. That’s important to. No that doesn’t mean they are playing in the same league.

2.2 billion euros in a decade. Doesn’t feel like too much.

How is Google more dangerous. I think you might have a wrong impression based on the current flood of news articles, because the web drm thingy is the current hot topic. Don’t get me wrong. There should be a spot light on it. But Microsoft is still playing a whole different ball game overall.

I just read about it in the news since I no longer use Teams. But having used it in the past and then have switched to a Slack+Zoom combination. My god. It’s just on another level. Having two products that each focus on one thing and try to make it great kinda works.

Anecdotally Slack has it’s fair share of issues once in a while. Zoom barely ever.

Well. Of course they are currently good to PC players. They want to take over a large chunk of the market after all.

The new food delivery business local to me has also been giving me a lot of subsidized delivery options. Until they run out of money or own a large chunk of the market that is.

GamePass for me actually ends up being more expensive. The majority of games on there aren’t really good games or one I’d like to play. So once we approach a subscription only model I’ll have to pay 15 money per month to just play that one game I like.
