    It invaded my Swiftkey keyboard with no permission and zero warning today (Obviously I realize that I probably gave it permission for shenanigans when I accepted the SwiftKey terms and conditions).

      While Google also has problems, it was a pretty smooth switch from SwiftKey to google keyboard (years ago for me to be fair)

        Sadly both of these don’t work well when adding 3+ languages. I love typing by swiping but it worked so much better before I installed more languages.

        Really hoping they’ll fix that one day.

    I wonder how long it’ll take Microsoft to completely ruin their reputation with companies again after they took so long to recover it.

      Business is entrenched. There’s no getting away from them.

      Look at the VMware fiasco, companies will continue to pay their extortionist prices because it’s still less than paying for, and risking transition.

      Also, in business, Group Policy is used, preventing this sort of thing.

        As I understand it, most companies are making transition plans away from VMware. A lot of contracts are multi-year, and transistioning your virtual infrastructure is one hell of a project if you have any amount of complexity to your infrastructure.

        It’s also one of those types of projects that is likely to be pushed down in priority whenever there’s fires to fight. The price hike is absolutely insane, but in the balance of things it might be better business sense to keep paying while you investigate alternatives and migration plans.

          That’s what our company is doing right now. Currently using VMware vcenter. We’ve started talks with IBM/redhat about open shift virtualization. I have to maintain redhat ansible automation platform, automation hub and a redhat openshift containerization cluster.

          Based on how absolutely terrible it is to maintain those and how absolutely terrible redhat support is, I keep trying to talk my company out of their current talks with redhat openshift virtualization.

          It doesn’t help that redhat’s tech team keep fucking up answers in their meetings with our team about their platform and our questions about feature party with vmware

      When that happened, Microsoft can fix their reputation again by buying more popular open source companies again. Nothing money can’t fix. Maybe they’ll buy Canonical next.
