That has been possible for a long time already, and I can't see what publishing the source code changes in that regard. Am I missing something? It still costs more money to use Windows over Linux, and I think that is the reason why governments are moving over.

And how is this going to stop anyone from moving away from Microsoft?
I don't think that, as Microsoft hasn't done a lot (any?) of that stuff in recent years. It's good to be cautious but really what is the problem with opening the source for something that already existed for a while and is embraced by many?
WSL allows me to develop in a Linux environment while still enjoying my very custom Windows setup and programs that I am used to. So no, WSL did not make me choose a side, but instead helps me to get the best of both worlds at once.
It's a reference to The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.
On Windows it's "taskkill".
Seeing this in an international community makes it so much more funny to me
As a casual rallying fan this really sucks. I hope this won't be the death of licensed rally sims.
By not letting AI slop take over
It's just a search bar located in the start menu and on the task bar, that combines local search with web results. For pro users it is pretty terrible, but I wouldn't be surprised if many regular users like it. You still have a normal local file search from within the file explorer.
That would be the optimal case, however in reality, limited runs and other marketing tactics heavily manipulate people into buying overpriced stuff they don't need. I think it's unfair to put all the responsibility of deciding what acceptable prices are on the buyer, when companies spend billions in researching marketing tactics. That's why there needs to be more guard rails coming from governments, so that consumers can't be abused as much.
