Not Even TRYING to Compete With Microsoft

Posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 20, 2024

CMA (UK) ought to step in and investigate why Canonical (UK) refuses to even compete. Seems like an antitrust violation or a form of collusion. Outside the UK, e.g. in the US, there's the same problem with IBM and in Germany/EU there's SUSE.

The above images are working links. To quote a Techrights associate: "IBM and Canonical should be making hay with this, since they are ostensibly into servers..."

But they don't do a thing!

They didn't even take advantage of "Recall" backlash to promote GNU/Linux. Instead, even this week, they promoted Windows.

Then consider what Canonical became. As the Techrights associate put it: "Ubuntu ended up being a sore blow for Debian because Mark headhunted many of the best and most of the most active Debian Developers over to Canonical. Then he kicked them in the nads with Mono and by hiring Microsofters to be over the former DDs in the company." █
