Pakistan > Microsoft,

Pakistan historically has been able to spectacularly resist world trends, Microsoft has spectacularly not.

Pakistan has been an arms producer and arms market for FAR longer than Microsoft, and thus Pakistan >>>>> Microsoft here no matter how fast Microsoft tries to catch up (it is sloppy, aiding in the Palestinian Genocide? That isn't a war!).

Pakistan has a FARRRRR less toxic internal culture than Microsoft does Pakistan >>>>>>> Microsoft.

Microsoft is also a catastrophe for the environment, especially with AI so Pakistan is also coming out on top there. Pakistan > Microsoft

As a final note, Pakistan produces and ships weapons like a good old arms dealer they are (I live in the really big arms dealer country so I am not being condescending to Pakistan), but the thing is as far as I am aware most of their weapons actually work and are sold to customers with the idea that they will actually be useful to them.

So.. one final time Pakistan >>>>>>>>>>>> Microsoft

When Microsoft starts selling RPGs they will have the upper management go to a test range, fire the RPGs off with some consultants they hired to show them how it works, spend a day feeling like badass men taking social media videos because they are blowing stuff up and then proceed to build RPGs without any further input or consultation with the people that will be using them. The RPGs will come with an advertisement that plays before you are allowed to fire the RPG, you will not be able to skip it for advertisement integrity purposes. Better hope the tank has similar advertisement software connected to their cannon because it is aiming back at you!

Welcome to the future!
