   I doubt if Rod Speed even uses a Windows computer   
   Everyone including Bill Gates is dumping Windows in a big way   
      
   Reports in late 2025 indicated that the Gates Foundation Trust   
   significantly reduced its Microsoft stake by nearly 65% in the third   
   quarter of 2025   
      
   European governments are actively shifting from Windows to Linux and   
   open-source tools to secure digital sovereignty, reduce high licensing   
   fees, and enhance data privacy. Major transitions include Germany's   
   Schleswig-Holstein moving 30,000 employees to Linux, Denmark's   
   Ministry of Digital Affairs switching to LibreOffice, and the   
   long-standing use of GendBuntu in France
