    Tracking I will give you (based on current information…).

    But Microsoft has semiregularly been investigated for antitrust and monopolies over baking too much into the os. Hence splitting it out

      They weren’t investigated for antitrust for baking stuff into the OS - it was for monopolizing various sectors and strong arming users and competitors. They’re allowed to have their own browser preinstalled, they just have to let you switch easily and remove it etc.

        They are literally in the process of needing to unbundle Teams from office in Europe.

        Regardless of the reasoning, MS has had eyes on it since the 90s and need to be incredibly careful what they do and don’t bundle together or preinstall. Whereas Apple can do whatever they want. That is why Apple comes with a bunch of shitty office products that only one person at any given company uses and Windows comes with a link to download them.
