They will all reinstall themselves with the next update

And now they'll market it as their own humbling idea.

Still I'm not going back to the Windows. Even if I do, Win11 wouldn't be my choice.

I thought they said it was an integral part of the operating system and couldn’t be removed. Are you telling me that Microsoft lied?

Portip: set your locale to Ireland and dont give windows your WiFi password on install. Boom, you're European.

Can we get that version here in Canada

That's still a lot less than previous rulings. I remember when Windows was forced to tell users that alternative browsers existed and had to offer download links. I doubt many people beyond experienced users will take advantage of this.

Finally a reason to change from 10 to 11. This laptop will probably go to 11 for me, but my next PC is probably going to be linux.

Does this law apply to Apple and Google?

I'm not sure if I like this news or not... It's good news for Windows users for sure... But somebody could think then "windows is not so bad" and lose the momentum to migrate to libre software, which is IMHO the future if we are to hope for a non dystopian one.

This should apply to Windows 10 as well right? How soon will this take affect?
