When you think Microsoft you probably don't think sense of humor. And yet, I'm convinced that Microsoft is going to do a very specific *very* funny thing within our lifetimes.
I imagine it’d be more like Android/iOS. Lock down bootloader so you can’t tamper with the OS, enforce notarisation requirement so that apps have to go through them. But Microsoft can’t do that, they don’t have any users vendor-locked to their application store. Valve on the other hand is in a much better position to do this.
I just don’t like people throwing around terms they don’t understand, leads to weird outcomes like people saying Meta would EEE ActivityPub back when every instance decided to defederate Threads.
It would be in line with their usual EEE, so totally not surprising.
They don’t give two shits about brand loyalty as long as line go up.
What standards would Microsoft EEE in this case? POSIX?
they might ship a proprietary lib with their os, encourage developers to use it, then license it out of being distributed

The whole OS and user base.
That’s not what EEE is.
By all means do nitpick the specific meaning of EEE, might be amusing to others.
