For this research, we’re focusing on e-mail. Especially in Scandinavia and the Benelux, Microsoft has established a strong prevalence. Purely based on the MX-records, we learn that 72% of Belgian municipalities run Microsoft mail servers and 60% of the Dutch municipalities. For Scandinavia, it’s 64% in Norway and 57% in Sweden. In Finland, it’s a whopping 77% if the cities that are being served by Microsoft.
At the same time, countries like Germany – known for its strong hacker culture and cybersecurity awareness – land at mearly 4% running Microsoft. In Hungary too, they land on hardly 3% and in Bulgaria they are surpassed by Google, together only having 4% of the mail-share.
So many list where Scandinavia is on top and south-east Europe is on the bottom, but not with this lol. I guess this is the first time i see a benefit of the Sovjet occupation of eastern Europe.
So, I don’t know how their process works exactly. But for example “Tecklenburg” is labelled as domestic, but it’s mail domain starts with “owa.”. Isn’t owa an indicator of Microsoft email?
Wow very interesting.
