They were data mining on non subscribing customers tho, in age of AI nowadays, data mining on real living people is good business
They'll continue thru their azure and entra (identity) services regardless of what OS you are on.
I've never used them tho, most probably USA exclusive thing, i know Azure used in many countries companies on par with aws and Google cloud but it's first time i hear about entra, didn't know it existed
Tons of websites use Azure as their back end. Entra is their IDP service that is often invisible to you and that people can use in their apps to build identity into it. It used to be called Azure AD. These are not public facing technologies, they are PaaS services that developers and hosts use to deliver white labeled products.
Thank you for clarifying, good to know something new, you're right, when they have good chunk of web under control they don't need non subscribers no more
