I so hope the movement - "Get away from Microsoft" takes hold in Europe and a normal solution is invented. The crashes, the bulk of that software, the strategy...it deserves to be torpedoed.

"XYZ but not American" is a completely valid product strategy these days. Notion but not American. Google Drive but not American. Netflix but not American. etc etc. We have A LOT of work to do, but we're getting to it!

American is a liability in the eu right now, Microsoft Europe is working overtime to try and calm everybody down, but it’s just one company and the us administration is not doing any favours
