NEWEST VERSION OF WINDOWS WON’T LET YOU CHANGE DEFAULT WEB

Another big difference is that while Internet Explorer was by far the dominant browser in 1998, Microsoft Edge does not exactly share that advantage today. It’s currently hovering just under 5% of the market share, while Chrome is around 75 percent.

Windows 10 S is the operating system that comes with Microsoft’s new flagship Surface laptop, which was just introduced with a price tag of $999. But consumers who’ve grown used to having the freedom to download and install any software they want, unless they’re students or teachers, should probably be prepared to pay an extra $49.

Windows 10S is just Windows RT in disguise.

Windows 7 is still the only OS worth installing.

Basically this

They're going for the "walled garden of eden" approach that apple took, because normalfags don't care about freedom. They WANT an OS to take away their freedoms so their retarded actions can't get them infected by malware as easily.
It's a sad time to be alive...

Justify this Windows!

Why are people throwing a fit over this? This is literally a Microsoft version ChromeOS.

I wonder if oracle will port their java VM to the windows store.

>>60229125
Microsoft spokesperson nice try!

>>60228997
The reason I downloaded kubuntu. I cant support this anymore.

>>60228997
Awww didums

>>60229156

>everybody who has an opposing view is shilling

Can you switch browsers on ChromeOS? No? I didn't see anybody making threads over that.

>>60229195
No one gives a sit about chromeOS whereas this is a clear step backward.

Enabling only Edge on Windows contributes to your computers security because it's the fastest and securest browser currently available.

>>60229222
what about Microsoft forcing you to use bing?

>>60229222
fuck off microshaft shill

>>60229031
You mean 2000

I have not gotten bloodrayne to work on 7

>>60228997
>On Windows 10 S
Who even gives a fuck about this Chromebook-tier shitpile?

>>60229222
Fastest is chrome.
Most secure is firefox.

Ffs you could use JavaScript on edge a while ago to gain full administrator access on a pc

>Most secure is firefox

Lmao it doesn't even have a sandbox

>>60229384
Remind me of all the times this year somebody made posts abour critical firefox exploits

Oh wait that never happened. Instead we got firefox crashes and general slowness.

They did that before and got sued big time by the EU(?). It's just a desperate attempt to force people into using Edge.
Nothing interesting to see here.

dont buy the shitty devices meant for third world poorfags then.

>>60229672
Why do you support human suffering anon?

>>60229692
because i hate them

Microsoft was on the right side of history before. People used to charge for web browsers before MS started bundling them in.

>>60229752
>>60229761
Do you hate yourself, is that why you support Microsoft?

>>60228997
How is it different from IOS not letting you change browser engines? Yeah, you can use Chrome on an iphone, but it's just safari with a different skin.

>>60228997
>The iPhone doesn’t let you change its default browser to something other than Safari, and on Google’s Chromebook laptops, the operating system literally is the Chrome web browser.

this is the important part.

Microsoft is literally just following on the footsteps of Google and Apple. Blame them for this.

>>60229809
You should not support either practice

I may be retarded, but at least I'm no tripfag

It's about fucking time they forced everything to come through Windows Store.

Morons have complained about "omg y windoz have secuty problm?1!!1!1" while installing Bonzibuddy and other shit without even thinking.

Hopefully MS puts their foot down and outright bans any 3rd party bundling with any apps sold on the store.

Hope they stop with the emulator witch hunt I just want my universal emulator again.

Fuck

wasnt there a story about MS doing this back in the day to monopolize something and ended up getting fucked in the butt for it?

it took them 20 years to change the ToS little by little so no one notices it and then finally they are moving into the final phase and do the same shit they did last time except that this time there would be no law to stop them from doing it at all

this is the long con guys. so glad I got myself a mac as i SAW this coming. if only overwatch would port to mac and I would be set and ready to go

>>60229125
Because it's labeled as Windows 10 so people think it's a sign of the direction Microsoft is going in with mainstream Windows.

>>60229222
You get better security from using TempleOS.

>>60229761
So you're saying we should be happy about Microsoft taking away our freedom, since there didn't used to be freeware browsers? I'm not sure that adds up.
