    Theyre gonna sell you features piecemeal instead of it being a complete system.

    Which features though. Edge? Copilot? Media player? Installing outside the store? Access to terminal? The filesystem? Uptime per day?

    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.
