          Edge is standard. Copilot is standard.

          But it’s $15 a month to unlock apps from partner publishers in the Microsoft Store, so you can use use Chrome. $20 for non-partner publishers so you can get Firefox with a .exe installer. The additional fees help them provide safe and malware free apps, it’s good for you!

          Any AI but Copilot? Sure, as long they’re a partner and share data with M$ or pay them a fee. And as you access it through a Copilot monitored UI.

          Want offline Office? $15 a month, but you can upload all your confidential documents into O365’s web based platform, where they’ll be mulched into Copilot training data, for free.

      You have to purchase the keyboard module or just type everything into the onscreen keyboard with your mouse if you can’t afford that.

      In corpospeech, DLC-like functionality. Subscription based and first party only of course.

      In the land where words still have meaning, it’s Linux being “just a kernel” and allowing users to build systems around it picking the software that they want.

      Unixoid operating systems are pretty modular since you can swap out basically any part of them for an equivalent part, if you know what you’re doing and are some sort of nerd. It sounds like Microsoft is copying Linux again, but is doing a much worse job of it.

        Yeah thats probably true. But the reason unix like systems are modular is that they follow standards. Of course microslop wont do that. Or maybe they are trying to EEE as a last ditch effort? Maybe they know that their ground is unstable right now.
