    I agree but having two major countries using this might be a good move for more efforts from nations. I know Canada still uses all M$FT platforms and recently moved to EXO.

    Purpose built projects like this would be easy for public servants to adopt and adapt their workflow.

      I wish we did with more open source and local software. My school in Canada has some agreement with Microsoft so we have to use everything from them.
      The school mail used for all accounts is hosted by outlook
      The databases are all azure
      The 2fa app on our phone to boot the school computer has to be Microsoft (even gave me shit because I am root…)
      Teams
      We had a whole course for a year on how to use word.

      It’s a public school. Obviously with this most students will move to the USA for higher pay, we are literally subsidizing the USA education.

        The school board here uses Google, and Microsoft… I emailed their board and the province’s privacy commissionaire asking why. I grew up with an agenda, and that shit worked better than using a website and email for JK/SK aged kids.
