    I love Microsoft getting publicly called out for their shitty tactics.

    …it’s a shame the people writing the laws for these sorts of things barely understand how the internet works, and will see this as a non-issue

      M$ don’t need publicity, only recently the computer shops have started, at least here in Spain, to sell PCs without an OS, only with FreeDOS, letting the user choose which OS they want to use. This saves the user more than €100, if they decide on Linux. Before, a PC was bought along with Windows, increasing the price of the PC, yes or yes. Round business, without the need for publicity.
