Summary: Microsoft is taking advantage of the war to cement monopoly in Ukraine and attract the budget of unwilling ‘investors’ (like taxpayers)
Microsoft puff pieces from AP (via ABC) are repeating Microsoft marketing/talking points without any investigation, scrutiny, or even the most basic analysis. Churnalism parrots.
