Comment on Microsoft tests ad-supported Office apps for Windows users
AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoThat’s like saying you can continue to do business with the guy who keeps trying to stab you if you keep out of arm’s reach.
It’s not wrong, but it’s not addressing the underlying problem.
If someone is feeling locked into the Microsoft ecosystem, empowering them to unshackle themselves from a large part of it is important. It makes the transition later so, so much easier when you don’t need to figure out OS-agnostic softwares across the board.
That said, if you are thinking of ripping the band-aid off all at once, I am 100% on board with it. Just not everyone is ready for it.
That was the direction I was getting. Plus linux works fine without TPM 2.0, unlike windows 11. So no real need to axe existing hardware, and unlike the bad old days your hardware is likely well supported.

What? Do you NOT do business regularly with Roberto from Futurama?

Roberto is a special case. For him it isn’t a choice, for microsoft it is.
