Installed Linux on my work computer, completely uninstalled microsoft software from my phone. I'm deliberately excluding Microsoft wherever possible.
Switch to Linux, it's better to ask forgiveness than permission. Say it's a security measure against spyware by malicious and hostile entities online.
Classic prisoner's dilemma
how is there a prisoner's dilemma pattern of payoffs here?
Microsoft defected, now the correct move for the customer is to defect. Really, based on the pattern they learned, they can defect a thousand times before they lose enough customers over it that they have to publicly apologize and reverse a feature, so customers stepping in mid-game think that there's a tit for tat happening, but they don't realize they're starting off in the hole. We all should have left Microsoft a very long time ago.
