Everything authenticated by Microsoft is tainted
He&#x27;s absolutely right, you really can&#x27;t trust anything they sign anymore.  This is why Microsoft has been so defensive about their stance since it occurred.  I&#x27;ve said the same since the news got out, but all my Microsoft-y friends I told didn&#x27;t care.  In fact, they all shrugged it off like &quot;what are ya gonna do?&quot;<p>That&#x27;s exactly the problem - what ARE companies going to do?  Migrate OFF windoze?  Migrate out of Azure?  To Linux?<p>Certainly not, Microsoft-y admin only know Microsoft, they usually can&#x27;t do much else, it&#x27;s all they know.  They certainly won&#x27;t bite the hand the feeds them.  That means the organizations are stuck, which is exactly what Microsoft wanted all those years ago with a monopoly, and got it.<p>Customers too stuck in their own ways to do anything but be a slave to Microsoft and their constant insecurity deserve what they get sadly.
