I do mostly enjoy all this moving to European tech because the thing being replaced is usually owned by Microsoft.

I do kind of worry though: there's a broad trend of countries trying to become less reliant on eachother, and in my mind the long period of peace we've had in much of the west this past half century has partly been because we're all in business together.
