It’s neat when centrists say the only part out loud.

“Unlucky Backup” is probably worse.

I remember them doing this with Internet Explorer back in the 90s.

“We can’t remove this thing we don’t want to remove! Look! It’s hastily integrated with the OS! We can’t remove it ever!”

Microsoft has been consistently “stupid” for a very long time about this one particular thing.

People who dual boot are likely to be linux newbies just trying it out. They’re more likely to blame linux when microsoft does what it does to competitors.

If Microsoft didn’t have a decades-long record of pulling shit like this, they might get the benefit of the doubt.
