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.
