So basically it's 1998 all over again, and they're gonna get sued for antitrust for doing the exact same shit they did back then. Neat.

Except now they'll say it's no longer part of the OS like IE was, and that it's just chromium under the cover.

Nobody should be installing a "factory" Windows image on any machine. Ever!

Here are some alternatives for anyone that's interested.

Use a custom Windows image. is a good source. I've been using that site for a few years, they are a trustworthy source. Some decent "Gaming Editions" on there.
Create your own image. All you need is a VM and some USB drives / DVDs. This is a little more involved, but will give you a Windows image built exactly how you want it. Tons of tutorials out there.
Use a LTSB/LTSC build.
Just switch to Linux. Do you really NEED Windows for what you want to accomplish?
