    And most of the world is too afraid to split off from it because it’s what they know.

    It doesn’t help that superior choices to Microsoft product keep getting bought by even worse competitors making Microsoft, once again, look not as as it might. Such events like:

    • IBM buying Red Hat and enacting the death of Centos
    • Broadcom buying VMware

      It’s almost as if there might be a common driver behind both phenomena.

      Meh, I think it’s a stretch to blame IBM for the Centos thing. Red Hat did that on their own and themselves deserve whatever criticism is warranted. It’s a wholly owned but independent subsidiary, so not like IBM is in the middle management chain at all.
