Well, not everything cooked up by MS is bad. USB, for example, is an
excellent technology. However, this stinker was created with RIAA and

I would rather compile my kernel than watch the brainrot they push
anyway.

Regardless, it doesn't matter at this point anyway. They just can't push
such a f---ed-in-the-head scheme, what with recent acquisition of Lenovo
and all. There are too many manufacturers who do not share the interest
of Disney/Hollywood for this to work.
