    Microsoft must have truly been shitting it. 38 whole people trying out other software

    That’s not the point, the problem for Microsoft is that when people begin to realize we don’t need Microsoft products because open source solutions work, it will spread like fire.

    The attempt was however half assed, and Microsoft never really needed to worry.

      People do already realise that we don’t need Microsoft products.

      The attempt was however half assed, and Microsoft never really needed to worry.

      That’s my point.

      “Attempting” to ditch Microsoft by relying on 38 people to decide they should use any other product is nonsense. Even if we knew more about the 38 people. How long they tried it for, what other software did they try etc…

      It would be very easy for Microsoft to have just paid a fair few of them pennies, for them to say “let’s give up”.
