I had an interesting discussion with my manager about the thinking about this....

We work for a company outside the government so we don't have nay insight into the actual decision making.

What he said was "you either trust Microsoft completely or not at all".

We don't have the option to be selective about what parts of MS you want to trust, you can decide to not trust them at all, that is fine, but you can't say that you trust Windows, Office and OneDrive, but not Copilot.

And sadly, at this point the government can't really afford to not trust Microsoft, since everything they are running comes from Microsoft, and changing that will take decades and cost billions of SEK, which we can't afford.
