   @jawarajabbi @mttaggart Considering how Microsoft has a huge stranglehold aka monopoly on the desktop market, yeah I feel regulators need to step in and break them and the rest of Big Tech up.

     I own a small business and we have always used Microsoft and a decade ago migrated to their cloud and our clients' financial information is stored there. Our IT guys have said we're fine unless we sign up for some specialized AI service where they'll thereby get permission but yikes. The company has gone from mildly annoying but functional to aggressive and in my face overnight. It's terrifying but I don't see it as practical to go anywhere else. I hate it here. #AI #Microsoft
