Windows is just full of hostile, anti-user patterns these days. I've considered building a windows box just to have a gaming rig multiple times over the last few years, but every time an article like this or their crusade against Chrome reminds me that Bill Gates is still the same anti-trust monster he was in the 90s.

Well at least Microsoft allows you to install other browsers. Apple only allows skins for their mobile browser.

That is on iOS, on MacOS they allow other browsers and respect the systemwide defaults.

Personally I use Linux unless forced to use something else by my employer.

Why is that in any way exonerating? Most people do most of their actual computing on their phones now, it is not an irrelevant toy platform. We should be more, not less, hard on Apple than Microsoft for pulling this shit on their mobile platform.
