Can we get that version here in Canada
You have a common border with Denmark, right? There might be a possibility there…
We do! We actually just ended the dispute peacefully a few months ago:

Yes…ended it…that’s exactly what we want you to think. “muhahahaa…”
I think MS talked about how they handle detection. And it isn’t based on Geolocation, but the choosen install language/region. If you choose one where the DMA applies, you will get the DMA options. For english speakers there should be a Euope (English) install option.
Tho, this does require reinstalling your system.
duckduckgo is in bed with Microsoft now…
What? Oh no! I have to look into this.
Edit: is this about their not blocking Microsoft queries? I see that outcry caused them to pivot away from that stance but that story gives me pause. Is there even a privacy search engine to replace them?
Still I’m not going back to the Windows. Even if I do, Win11 wouldn’t be my choice.
And now they’ll market it as their own humbling idea.
They will all reinstall themselves with the next update
Not if it’s for legal compliance.
Oh, sorry. I meant to say “Haha, Windows sucks! Am I right guys? Updoots to the left!”
And Microsoft is known throughout the world as an honest company that follows the laws, complies with regulations and keeps it’s word.
I would say they are known for skirting the edge of the law, sometimes getting in trouble but usually not, or at least nothing serious. They don’t outright break it, and the software re-installing might not break it. Whatever happens, you can bet they’ll do the most anti-consumer thing they may be allowed to get away with.
This is why I keep updates disabled.
“Oh no, you’ll be at risk!” phhbt. Nonsense.
I’ve had zero issues from not being updated, but plenty from updates breaking stuff.
Even LTSC only gets updates 2x a year, so apparently even MS agrees.
