- fsflover 6y agoIn principle, yes. But at least you can switch to a differently licensed version of the OS if this is your concern.
- zepto 6y agoSure but the OEM version of Windows is not a walled garden. You are just trying to make a definition of walled garden that isn’t what people generally mean so you can include MacOS within it.
- fsflover 6y agoYes, it is. See the other discussion.
- zepto 6y agoThe other discussion links to a Wikipedia article which shows that it is not: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26230338 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26230338 Windows and MacOS have the same entries in the table which means it’s not a walled garden as defined in the piece.
