Thank God. Imagine how much worse things would be if they used decent software.

Microsoft has been the go to for both private sector and public sector office software for decades. This is not a surprise at all.

I hate microslop as much as the next guy, but using OneDrive for government stuff isn't exactly evil. Though they gleefully took the cash is still nefarious-adjacent.

If they left it at OneDrive that would be one thing, but I don't believe for a second that "We helped enable surveillance and AI targeting of drone strikes in a genocidal campaign" Microsoft is not more deeply involved than OneDrive

I keep asking myself, why if there are a lot of countries in the world, why the people keep wanting to go to such a shitty country where you will be treated as a terrorist?

All the more reason to move away from Windows.
