Closest first, by how much each site’s offer resembles Microsoft’s. Trackers are counted the same way as above. Highlighted technologies are ones Microsoft uses too. Votes and comments come from visitors and don’t change the order.

04 · History

What Microsoft changed on its homepage, prices, imprint and open positions, and in the tools it uses. Each change happened between the two dates: the last check that saw the old state and the one that found the new.

How we measure

Alternatives are matched by what sites actually offer, from their homepages, Wikidata and a summary by Claude, in any language. Trackers and the rest of the stack come from the homepage’s code and DNS records.
