I mean, the military literally has the guns. Microsoft will support them or it will be nationalized and then support them.
Not exactly a position Microsoft has much actual leverage in.
Would love to see the military force MS to contribute to WINE development until all govt apps work on Linux.
I think its more likely that the dept in Microsoft and all auxiliary depts that maintain the military’s systems would be forcibly drafted and any resources they need seized enmass and with no regard for what is destroyed in the process.
Fort lewis is near Microsoft headquaters, and they have lots of big flying things, boom boom shooty things, and even more boots on ground.
I doubt it would help Linux much, but it would be an interesting day in Redmond for sure.
