  Even better. After you’ve explicitly triggered the default MS is like “have you tried the all new megacorp spyware? It’s not actually new, but identical to the spyware we already installed and absolutely nothing has changed in the last 10 seconds since you made the decision, but we figured we’d throw another churn barrier at you because fuck you; we own your OS. You’re our product now bitch, and that’s all you’ll ever be”

  Don’t forget the OS built by a megacorp snorkeling up all your data anyways

    …that they ask you to actually pay for the privilege. Because remember, windows isn’t actually free (and you pay for it if you buy a pre-built).

      I feel it’s important to point out that you can simply not activate Windows and use it indefinitely

      Does make you wonder though where Microsoft is getting that money from

    At least I can mostly opt out there. Or use Linux

  Well, on the other hand, said megacorp finances the only other engine (Blink being a fork of Webkit), so they don’t have to bother with monopoly restrictions.

  Current web is broken.

    I realize this, but technically Mozilla is still an independent entity. They also fight some Google attempts at Web DRM, so it’s still healthy condition

      and web standards! chrome doesn’t care much about web standards. they regularly add new nonstandard proprieties that eventually wins because of their market-size.

        who needs a standard when you are the standard /s

  aren’t they the same megacorp

    I think they’re referring to the fact that Edge runs on the Chromium engine which, as the name implies, is a Google product.
