I'd put up all the Microsoft atrocities you can name, against the CCP any day of the week and twice on Sundays

Since Microsoft committed the Windows 11 atrocities, any countries may want 100% of those Microsoft Crooks to get the hell out.

I don’t think that is the reason

IT guy here, I can sort of accept Windows 11 from a user’s perspective, but the new Outlook is absolutely unforgivable.
It is a peice of utter garbage and will break so many workflows that I am scared for the future.
Microsoft built their dominance on Office, not Windows, specifically, Excel and Outlook.
Sadly almost every company runs Exchange and there is a lot of companies that either already run 365 or are migrating to it.

Do not forget their so-called open document format (OOXML), which is everything but open, and their deliberate efforts to suffocate the competition, by abusing their market position.

I know that’s true of large enterprises but I spent about a decade in an around start ups and few used Microsoft stuff (except Excel for finance people). If you’re starting from scratch and have a bunch of young employees, there’s really no reason to stick with the legacy Microsoft stuff.
Not saying “Google’s office suite is better than Microsoft’s.” Microsoft’s cloud offerings are basically the same now and there’s some advantages and disadvantages. I just mean there’s a generation of people that know Google Workplace better than MS Office.

Likewise, in 1995 M$ made WinRAR. it took the place of a much better product that was PKZip which existed since 1989. Since then I always see crooked things in each of their products and predatory commercial moves.

Wait what? Microsoft didn't make WinRAR.

from your link : “WinRAR is a Windows-only program.”
… you are right that it was created by someone else in an independent company but then distributed by M$ … the important part for me is that it came after PKZip and took its place, and is worse.
