French City of Lyon Kicks Out Microsoft

Microsoft faces growing rejection in Europe whereas open source
software sees growing adaption.

European countries have been growing increasingly wary of relying on
Microsoft for critical government and public sector services. Concerns
about data privacy, digital sovereignty, and potential governmental
surveillance have led many to question the viability of depending on
an American tech giant for sensitive infrastructure.

Many worry that dependence on Microsoft could leave them vulnerable to
sudden service interruptions or the risk of sensitive data being
accessed without consent.
