Microsoft announced last week that it will allow uninstalling Microsoft Edge in the European Economic Area (EEA) in compliance with the Digital Markets
I just switched to Linux bcs I couldn’t stand the MS BS anymore. Lol. Plus my computer can’t even update to W11. So only so much longer till I’d need to do that anyways lol.
There’s a good chance MS will have to extend their support for Windows 10 because of that. Either that, or they’ll have to make it easier for non-compliant hardware to run it.
That would be nice. Granted at this point I find it hard to find a reason to switch. Just seems boring at this point. Lol. Like I use the Surface Pro 3 which isn’t supported… which I think at the very least they should try to make sure even their OWN older hardware is supported? Lol.
Security updates for Windows 10 are currently set to end in 2025. However, there is a strong possibility Microsoft will continue to support it, given that so much hardware cannot be directly upgraded to Windows 11 (it can be done, but not officially).
You’re also saying that as if an up to date Windows 11 installation is the pinnacle of security. Last I checked (albeit I can’t remember the name of it), there was a very low level way of hacking out a Windows user’s password, one that Microsoft has no easy way of addressing. This is among any number of other zero days that are prevalent in such a widespread OS.
Maybe the botnet will play League of Legends better then I do. Meanwhile it will have ‘mysterious power outages’ whenever I’m doing real work in Linux ;-)
Stop, I can only get so erect.
Who am I kidding, I already reverted my machines to Windows 10 ages ago, and haven’t had to deal with such bullcrap.
Ah the sweet smell of, “your computer is not ready for Windows 11. Find out what you can do.”
Install via Rufus. If you have to.
Roll back to Windows XP.

Windows 10 forces edge, bing, and ads in the search bar already. Reverting to 10 changes nothing in that regard.
The setting to disable Bing in search has existed since the feature has been added.
If only you guys learned to look in the settings…
Until you don’t get anymore updates and you are hacked and botnet infested.

I am saying that Linux is the way to go. Fk M$.
