> Microsoft's "Free" Plan to Upgrade Government Cybersecurity Was Designed to Box Out Competitors and Drive Profits, Insiders Say
NO SHIT !!!!!
Microsoft is distributing their shit as if it were freeware while it isn't since win7.
It's one of the only companies that can sell at a loss because their economical model is based on keeping it's userbase in it's sandbox.
As for revenue they still get money from all the pc brands licensing even tho they don't necessarily sell the pcs. Then they get money as databrokers, Then they get money as tax deductions for "free" licensing for education. Then they also get money for SaaSS and minitel type of next gen pc clients.
They're everywhere because they know that most people are fed up with them. People would ditch them if they could but MS has done everything to crush competitors be it via woke subversion in communities or bribing certain foundation by giving them money etc..
