content: Sorry it took a big of work to compile a list and its preliminary so I may have missed one or two... 1) I am sure other people can chime in and add the few I am probably missing. Tech is a very weird. It's not JUST office. Filesystems like ExFAT and NTFS, media and codecs from wmv/a, streaming  1ff9   service APIs, Licensing costs for Windows drivers development. No one isn't paying MS for SOMETHING. MS realizes this. That's why they are "giving away" Windows 10 to us proles, So OEMs keep coming back to Daddy MS, this is just Daddy MS getting a little extra rapey in forcing it in but its nothing new and you probably can't completely avoid it.
