This analogy is breaking my brain. Hard to reason about it cause the hardware changed so much from when MS was relevant.

I like Google as a much lesser evil compared to Apple not MS. I know Google hardware is a joke division in most peoples eyes, but I don't care. AOSP is superior to shit from Canonical or RedHat. Again, can't compare directly, different hardware.

Is modern Microsoft evil? Not at all too. VS code, github, hosting OpenAI.
