Rarely is it not enforced.
Nope. Microsoft competed well against its rivals and forced all others to up their game.
Impossible. You must not know what fascism is. Oh wait, we've been over this as well.
Microsoft earned government preference by requiring minimal to no training to use the Office suite of products. That government concern alone overrides the value of competitors' products that are free.
it is mostly not enfored.
Incorrect.
Yes. The government is a customer just like everyone else. You have your own concerns and your own preferences. The government has a huge training concern/consideration and Microsoft has routinely kept government programs on track by requiring essentially zero training. "No training required" is a huge government preference.
the government has an oversight authority and a duty to enforce our desired economic system.
Go on, specify this oversight authority you mention.
Sure, as long as it is liberty and free markets.
I am not a Microsoft fan.

Fuck Putin and all of his supporters.I had little interest in Putin when it all started. What I wanted to know was, why did Russia attack Ukraine. After some reading, I think I have a pretty good answer. Clearly, Ukraine's bid to join NATO was part of it, but the exactly timing coincided precisely with Ukraine's renewed assault on the Donbass Republics. There is an article that I prize above all others in giving a pretty good idea as to Putin's difficult choice in the days leading up to the war, one by former Swiss Intelligence Officer, Jacques Baud. Quoting:
**
In fact, as early as February 16 [2022], Joe Biden knows that the Ukrainians began to shell the civilian populations of Donbass, putting Vladimir Putin in front of a difficult choice: to help Donbass militarily and create an international problem or to sit idle and watch Russian speakers from the Donbass being run over.
If he decides to intervene, Vladimir Putin can invoke the international obligation of “ Responsibility To Protect ” (R2P). But he knows that whatever its nature or scale, the intervention will trigger a shower of sanctions. Therefore, whether its intervention is limited to the Donbass or whether it goes further to put pressure on the West for the status of Ukraine, the price to be paid will be the same. This is what he explains in his speech on February 21.
That day, he acceded to the request of the Duma and recognized the independence of the two Republics of Donbass and, in the process, he signed treaties of friendship and assistance with them.
The Ukrainian artillery bombardments on the populations of Donbass continued and, on February 23, the two Republics requested military aid from Russia. On the 24th, Vladimir Putin invokes Article 51 of the United Nations Charter which provides for mutual military assistance within the framework of a defensive alliance.
In order to make the Russian intervention totally illegal in the eyes of the public we deliberately obscure the fact that the war actually started on February 16th. The Ukrainian army was preparing to attack the Donbass as early as 2021, as certain Russian and European intelligence services were well aware… The lawyers will judge.

Almost all of the Russians dont agree with you.
