I agree with everything you said, except: > they are now pursuing a locked down AppStore model with windows S Isn't Windows S Mode pretty much dead? I thought Microsoft gave up on it a few years ago and I don't believe there's any new hardware being shipped with it. Also, those that do have S Mode enabled by default can do a one-way switch out of it in the settings. It seems like it's still supported though.
