    The thing is that being a “builtin” is so unfair of an advantage that I wish Windows came with no programs at all. No Microsoft Edge, no Teams, no Media Player. Nothing other than the simplest of file browsers and some system tools. Either let it be up to the OEM to decide what programs to use or have people install their own preferred programs right after they install Windows.

    But of course having control of that advantage is too juicy of a power. So they’ll keep integrating things into Windows.

    Them removing a builtin would be a good thing if it wasn’t because they probably did it so they can push (or focus in) some other product instead.
