Yeees! Edge goes first, followed by Bing
What about Windows 10?
This probably only applies to the Windows N version?
Maybe, but the N version was in response of another regulation that was less stringent in enforcement.
If they only do it in the N version, all other versions become prohibited to sell in the EU. I’d guess this is all versions, and the EU region lock is enforced differently.
“The European Commission has exempted Bing and Microsoft Edge from DMA oversight due to their non-dominant market position.”
I wonder if Microsoft’s legal department advised Nadella to abide by the spirit of the law (despite the exemption) to prevent possible headaches in the future.
This is 👍 news. I don’t use Edge. Google is my search engine, not Bing. 1 may change Edge’s default search engine, but I never bothered.
Microsoft has been betting big on ai. They may be OK with “competition”, “fair playing field” or “pro-choice” things if ai will give them billions in profit in the future.
It’s 👍 that alternativeto.net is still around. I’ve been going there to find alternate programs.
