Re: Alternatives
There must be some collusion among US tech companies not to rock the boat in this blackmail scheme initiated by MS.
MS offered the Hardware manufacturers a fat juicy bone, by forcing users to ditch perfectly working hardware by the tens of millions if they want to continue using supported version of Windows.
Google, Citrix and others had several years to develop easy to use and install alternatives to help out those users wanting to keep their hardware.
It will be interesting to find out which price shops like Lenovo, HP and Dell have to pay to MS for running this extortion scheme on their behalf.
Perhaps what is more interesting is the fact no consumer protection agency or government stepped in to protect its citizens from the scamming by US based companies.
