Windows has 90%+ of all desktops etc. what are you realistically going to replace it with, Linux? And who provides the support for that for large scale deployments?
It doesn't matter if you/ me/ everybody on/. personally dislike Windows, it is here and it is the norm. Deal.
Tax avoidance - the LEGAL minimisation of taxation due. Tax evasion - the ILLEGAL minimisation of tax due.
Evasion gets you a cell mate, avoidance does not.
Regardless of your own views of what should constitute avoidance/ evasion these people do not appear to have done anything illegal.
Whether it is moral is another question.
NZL has lots of cows, sheep, polluted rivers and I am no fan of the current administration; however I would balk at describing our Government as 'messed up'. We have MMP (a proportional representation system) for Parliament, reasonably harmonious race relations and a mostly 'unarmed 'Police force.

"Nope. A taxi company picks up people on the street by hail. Uber doesn't. By definition it isn't a taxi company, no matter what your personal hatred of them warps your beliefs to"
Taxi firms in New Zealand pick you up via hail, from taxi ranks and if you ring them and ask their robot phone service. Uber are a taxi service.
Serves 6-8 as a starter 2 x 400g cans of chickpeas (reserve the liquid and a few chickpeas for decoration) 4 tsp tahini 2 garlic cloves, crushed 1 tsp crushed sea salt 6 tbsp quality extra virgin olive oil (plus extra for drizzling) 3 1/2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice Paprika (optional) Coriander or parsley leaves (optional)
Rinse the chickpeas in cold water and tip into the food processor. Add the tahini, crushed garlic, salt, lemon juice and seven tablespoons of the reserved liquid from the cans. Turn on the food processor and slowly pour in the oil while it runs. When the mixture is fully combined and smooth, tip it into a serving dish. Drizzle with some more extra virgin olive oil and decorate with a few whole chickpeas. Sprinkle with paprika and finely chopped coriander or parsley leaves, for colour.
There... no backdoor needed. Please note this uses grams and may cause confusion for those who use imperial measurements only.
This is the Alan Rickman I recall. Legend has it that his part was cut back as he completely overshadowed Fishboy's Robin Hood in pre-release test screenings.
You may have noticed kids don't always think before they act, however the punishment for that with lorries and cars is death. Perhaps having both sides work towards a solution could be tried. Compromise can work.
If memory serves, Theatre commanders who received information via Enigma were required to 'confirm' the information. e.g. If a convoy was due from Italy to North Africa they sent a reconnaissance flight out.
This was to provide plausibility in that the Germans could reason the attack was due to being found by conventional means by the Allies rather than code-breaking.
New Zealand liberalised its taxi system about 25+ years ago. The Gov't allowed anyone to setup a taxi company who had the appropriate car licence endorsement, log books and passed a vetting process for its drivers. etc.
Uber have shown up and decided that they do not have to have vetted drivers, log books etc. 'cos they are Uber! The Police are investigating.
The barriers for entering the NZ market are quite low but even then Uber do not think they should apply to them.
So when some dick flies a drone into a police chopper or whatever and the chopper crashes; we then go and tell the victims that we had to wait until this event before legislation was passed?

Apparently Pyongyang has tunnel complexes that make Tora Bora look like dilettante work. Would a nuke eradicate the leaders?
As you were passing through this 'plastic crap hole', what does that make you?
