Either way, it's just Microsoft trying to push themselves into a space and remove consumer choice.

I'm saying that as a general fan of Microsoft. I just wish they'd stop doing these things that are not beneficial to the user, and solely focused on keeping themselves relevant.
The right way to stay relevant is to make great products.
