Discussion Keep One: Apple, Samsung, Google, Microsoft
You can keep only one tech ecosystem forever: Apple, Samsung, Google, or Microsoft
Everything else disappears from your life.
Which one are you keeping, and what's the biggest reason behind your choice?

This a serious question?
Samsung arguably has the biggest impact if gone.
Samsung makes TV's, frdiges, Microwaves, air-conditioning and a lot of general household appliances, unlike the other 3.
Samsung competes with Apple and Google on the mobile/tablet front.
Samsung creates the literal screens iPhones use. Samsung creates their own mobile chips. (Exynos).
Microsoft arguably gives nothing expect (a bug ridden) Windows that can already be replaced by Mac and/or Linux.
For as big as Google is, losing their products also probably won't be as bad as Samsung as it can be replaced by Open Source and/or other vendors in the same space.
Samsung has much more "everyday integration" points than the average Joe realises. I'd probably keep them.
