That's cool and all, but I either can wait for that to happen or not happen (which is not a certainty), or I can just use macOS (or a flavor of Linux).

Sure, the EU will fix things like they've managed to do in the past with other internet-related stuff (e.g., cookie notices). And I will definitely re-evaluate this take once things change in terms of ads for Windows. But until that happens, I don't see "the EU will fix that" as a valid point in favor of Windows.

This is the problem. Microsoft does not have a strong product function in Windows so no one can push back on this bullshit in the first place.

That’s nice, what about those OneDrive and Microsoft365 ads they added in an update last year?
