    Extinguish isn’t about snuffing the tech out, it’s about pushing everyone else out of the market after you have extended it in a proprietary fashion and used your market dominance to create a defacto monopoly.

      That’d only work with proprietary tech.

      AI is pure math and that math is freely available. There are already many competitors with similar functionality and there isn’t much Microsoft can do to change that.

        EEE has been used against open source tools in the past (it’s where the extend part comes in), and crushing competition with the full weight of the MS machine is kinda the point. I think you’re being too quick to handwave it away, but I’d love to be wrong. In any case, not interested in changing your mind enough to argue with you about it. Have a nice day!
