Probably as useful as the cookie warning law.
If this meant the Google stuff was not going to be installed if you choose different and the device was still going to be fully functional (you could still install apps from the store) that would be something but I doubt this is the case.
By the way, why do they use the Chinese《一》character instead of hyphens?

- zapzupnz 8y agoCopy and paste the character then run it through a search engine, is definitely the Chinese/Japanese character for 'one'.
- jjjjjjjjjjjjjjj 8y agoI thought so too, but for some reason they're actually using cjk unified ideograph 4e00, 一 which is the Chinese (also used in Japanese) character for 1...
- zapzupnz 8y agoIt's more like when Microsoft was forced to offer a choice of web browser with certain versions of Windows sold in Europe, less in line with the cookie thing.
- qwerty456127 8y agoSure, but I classify these in the same cohort - yet another nagscreen that can probably do some tiny good but is hardly going to do significant.
- rstuart4133 8y agoIt's amusing to see Microsoft managed to turn that law to their advantage. Before that law came in I could install and use an alternative browser with a minimum of fuss. After, Microsoft insisted they were required by law to display a couple of dialogues telling me their browser was the best in the word, and forcing me to acknowledge each one. The irony is only people who were going to install an alternative browser anyway got to see those warnings multiple times. I very much doubt it had any effect on anybody who continued to use Microsoft's offering.
