There is a kind of precedent for this actually, back in the 90s when Microsoft got dinged for bundling internet explorer with Windows. This feels like it's basically the same thing.
And that changed so much...
It actually did - Microsoft is an ethical company now, they've done a great job with GitHub for example and also more successful than they ever were in the bad old days when they terrorised the industry.
Is this sarcasm? I really can't tell.
Super ethical... Just bundling a ton of Spyware in with windows and trying to lock down your hardware into their ecosystem even though it didn't come from them... 🙄

Apart from the whole ripping off open source code to make their closed source copilot thing?
Can you elaborate? Don't want to sound like an apologist, just genuinely curious
they use github to train copilot, which sometimes reproduces code without paying attention to the license of the code it's regurgitating.
Makes sense
