I work in IT and I'm looking into teaching myself more about cloud devops stuff and then taking a test to get a certificate. So I basically have to pick if I want to focus on AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud. I really don't want to support Amazon, but the other two aren't that great either. Is Google still less evil than Microsoft?
They are all pure evil. They all collaborate with the Pentagon. They all are extremely monopolistic companies. What we're talking about here is power. At this stage, Microsoft is probably the least powerful.
Windows doesn't hold the monopoly power it once did. Microsoft's domination of the PC market has been made redundant by the proliferation of smartphones, smart TVs, and the ability to install Linux on any Windows machine without much hassle. Meanwhile Google dominates the smartphone market, the browser market, the search market, and the advertising market, and Amazon is the epitome of our present mode of production, dominating in retail, computational rentseeking, and logistics.
