I haven't actively used Windows after Windows 7. I moved to Linux & afterwards macOS without regret, so I missed all the developments around WSL. But, today I spend hours in VSCode each day, GitHub has all my code, and I started the Copilot trial last week to check how helpful it really is. Corporations everywhere use Office & Teams, on all platforms. MS is everywhere today, not just on Windows!
we should expect more indignant press releases, more threats, more evasion, more malicious compliance.
Apple still builds solid hardware and software, even though breakthrough innovation on mainline products halted. I wrote something recently partly on how I both like & dislike what they do. Despite many gripes, I felt that they had become less closed in the last years: non-iCloud file synchronization apps can integrate nicely with iOS's file manager. There is an Alpine Linux emulator in the App Store. Since last year push notifications were possible for web apps.
But the indignant & petulant reaction to the DMA showed that more things need to change fundamentally for Apple to truly sail a more open course.
I agree with this, mostly!
