It's odd how powerful MS is in this equation, and how the don't step in and add some sanity.

It's possible to have pre-loaded software without ruining everything.

Right? MSFT could easily put an end to this nonsense.

The reason they don't apparently is that this supply chain is their bread and butter, and they don't want to mess with it.

But - I feel this is causing them harm in the long run.

I feel that there is a mostly win-win were they to step in and just try to move against the bad shenanigans. I feel that even big companies like Dell, Sony etc. shoot themselves in the foot with this stupidity.

I'm mac 10x years now, strongly looking for change, but I'm wary of that kind of Windows stupidity.
