I recall seeing an ad from a start menu search... admittedly, an insiders build and likely a test feature... but they're definitely at least considering it... I don't use many apple apps on my m1 laptop, so can't say much there. All said, my desktop has been in Linux 99.9% of the time since first seeing that. Though Win11 had already been pissing me off a lot well before then.

Apple definitely pushes apple music a lot. I use spotify and when I hit play on my headphones half the time it somehow thinks that I want it to fire up apple music instead of unpausing spotify.

On iPhone if it doesn't auto sync your photos it definitely encourages you to on.. yep, iCloud!

I just don't understand all this hate for microsoft in this particular case. To me this is not really that different from what Apple does, yet I don't see articles roasting apple about it.
