Edge integration into Windows is no different then Safari within Mac OS, neither browser can just be taken out of the OS because of the integration and backend services each rely on.  The thing is, neither OS require you to actually use those browsers so you really cannot say they are strong arming you.  There is no doubt that every company that has an advantage within their section of business will continue to push for that advantage, that is what business do.  Its another thing to suggest they need to resort to sleazy tactics to accomplish the task.

As for an OS is concerned if you are looking to get away from a business leveraging their software on their platform, then only Linux fills that spot but even still you probably cannot get the paid distros as you then just move from one master to another.

You're just proving my point, thanks.

Not sure how I have proven your point.  You ended your post saying that MS forces you to use their accounts but nothing I have stated actually prove that point.  What actual account are you forced to use from MS.  I know I do not have any MS accounts besides GP but I was forced to get it.
