MS has always been, by nature, a parasitic monopoly marketeer. The dominance it achieved through tactics straight out of the Rockefeller playbook has held back computer design for decades.
Women with too much power will destroy humanity. Then they will blame men.
An honest process fears no scrutiny.
“Analysis” such as this fails to understand the workings of power - particularly where power resides and how it is maintained over time. Institutions do not possess power in and of themselves - the people behind them are the locus of power. Real power operates dynastically and is thus self-perpetuating. Institutions are means through which power may be wielded, but neither institutional leaders nor institutions may act without the patronage of those from whom their ostensible (in fact, “leased”) power is derived. With relatively few experimental departures, of which the founding period of the American Republic was one, we have not greatly changed from the historical norm of monarchy/oligarchy. The Vatican is certainly not the apex of global power. Rather, the Vatican is an instrument (an executor) of global power operating in one domain of human affairs. It’s a mistake to think any institution is omnipotent, when those who have studied the deep workings of power quickly come to realize that this is to mistake the puppet for the puppeteer. That the puppeteer is so reluctant to appear on stage should raise profound questions about our reality.
