I don't really think desktops are a real source of tech competition anymore. If the FTC isn't going to do anything about vendor lock-in on iOS, MacOS, Android, or ChromeOS, they really don't have any business doing the same on Windows.
Gonna wait for Windows 11N

I was going to ask, didn't they get sued in the 90's for something similar?
They got sued but IE also became the dominant browser. I think they must be factoring this decision into their Teams' CAC.
Is this just asking for antitrust? I mean, Apple can get away with sherlocking their opposition but they don't have a monopoly on desktop OS.
