The European Commission (npub1m96…ag4y) uses Microsoft applications for the everyday work of most its officials. This is puzzling:
* in conflict with the Union's strategic autonomy objective.
* a wasted opportunity to use procurement strategically, bringing business to European IT companies (even better if open-source based).
* disturbing securiy implications as US authorities have eyes and killswitches on all our executive's IT systems.
