Microsoft's recognition of its inability to persuade Windows 10 users to upgrade to Windows 11 has resulted in an extension of support for another year. This shift compels users toward subscription-based Microsoft 365 services, raising alarms in the EU about data privacy due to the storage of information in US datacenters. Concerns about trusting Microsoft amid geopolitical pressures, particularly under the Trump administration, intensify, and the incident involving the International Criminal Court raises doubts about Microsoft's commitment to user security as it pertains to external political influence.
"Microsoft's tactical admission of failing to transition Windows 10 users to Windows 11 leads to an extended support period, placing emphasis on cloud subscriptions."
"Numerous EU organizations are concerned about privacy with Microsoft 365 as user data is stored in US datacenters, raising significant trust issues."
"Brad Smith's assurance to EU customers regarding support against political pressure stands at odds with recent incidents reflecting potential operational vulnerabilities under such pressures."
