Microsoft does Microsoft things.

I complain about the EU and my own technical incompetent government for a simple reason:

For years now, we have Open Source Software that is good enough (TM) for the public sector, and for example the French police showed already that you can move to Linux (https://www.zdnet.com/article/french-police-move-from-windows-to-ubuntu-linux/).

The EU should get independent of Microsoft for something so important like the IT infrastructure, instead of painting lipstick on a pig.

Edit: And if the EU is independent from Microsoft, I would prefer to use a messaging system like Matrix instead of blowing money into something like Slack.
