    I mean, Windows would be fine if the OEM stripped it down instead of bloating it even more. They can totally do with with group policies.

    I honestly don’t know what they were thinking here.

      They were probably thinking that they’d use the cheapest Windows license (no gp manager) and make more money by putting bloatware on there via deals with other companies.

      I know you know but why are they so short sighted? I just don’t think actual consumer experience is at the forefront of priorities. Deadlines and budgets are.

        It totally kills interest in the device though. Its like they think every single buyer is an impulse buyer who just looks at the demo in Best Buy without even looking it up or trying it.
