> What else do you want them to do? Perhaps, you know, not stoop to Google's level? Like, why does Microsoft even care? Windows is the product for which its users (theoretically) paid, not Edge. If people want to run Chrome or Firefox or fucking NCSA Mosaic on Windows, then that's their problem, not Microsoft's. Microsoft got their money; they should mind their own business instead of bitching and moaning about "but but but the user doesn't want our shiny new browser!". Microsoft's insistence on what seems to be a deliberate attempt to make Windows as horrible of a user experience and product as possible is precisely why I switched to Linux-exclusivity in 2012 and haven't looked back. I would much rather put up with the broken dumpster fire that is the Linux desktop experience than even pirate (let alone buy) an operating system that by every indication hates me and wants me to suffer. And it's baffling because pretty much every other part of Microsoft seems to be figuring out how to make decent (or at least mediocre) products; it's just their flagship product line that they seem to have been actively sabotaging since it peaked as Windows 2000.
