I Hate You Microsoft

In a moment of frustration, the author expresses their disdain for Microsoft, stating, "The one rule that matters." The author, who uses their institutional account for accessing Microsoft services, encounters a disheartening message: "Your account does not allow editing on a Mac." This seemingly innocuous statement sparks outrage, prompting the author to question the true intentions behind such a restriction.

The author asserts that Microsoft's actions are both disrespectful and unethical. They argue that these practices are the result of cunning financial strategies hidden within contracts that force the institution to adopt Windows machines. The author also highlights the pressure placed on the institution to utilize Windows, despite the author's refusal to comply.

Moreover, the author points out the intrusive advertisements that appear within Microsoft apps, such as the calculator app consuming a significant amount of system resources. The author also raises concerns about the presence of bugs and potential security breaches, particularly in relation to Microsoft's surveillance software, Copilot, and Windows Recall.

The author concludes their diatribe by imploring others to avoid using Windows and proprietary document formats. They emphasize the importance of unity in order to avoid falling into a dystopian future. Although the author hosts their website on GitHub Pages, they pledge to improve their practices in the future.
