I'm not a microsoft fan at all but European governments have tried to get away from it a few times and I don't think it's ever been very successful.

People are familiar with Microsoft, and for all of their problems they do know what governments are actually solving for which smaller providers often don't understand.

Just today I had to configure a swedish-based email provider and it felt like going back to the 90s. There were three different web portals, each with a separate login, and one I can't log into at all so I just get an error ,the other lets me configure some email settings, and the third lets me view my email and configure some other settings.

European software often feels like this scene from Succession where rich guy says to his children "I love you, but you're not serious people" compared to US equivalents to me.

I'd love for them to reduce their microsoft dependency, but not at the cost of whatever weloveyou.systems is
