France says no to Microsoft Windows and the reason is America; says: We want to regain control of …
France is trying to move on from Microsoft Windows. In a move, which is part of a broader European movement to reduce reliance on American tech, France has announced that it is dropping Microsoft Windows in favor of Linux. According to a report in Tech Crunch, France plans to move its workstations from Windows to the open-source Linux. Although homegrown alternatives aren’t available in many areas, the European Union (EU) seems prepared to wean itself off where it can.
In a statement, French minister David Amiel reportedly said that the effort was to “regain control of our digital destiny” by relying less on U.S. tech companies.
