From ComputerWorld:
Microsoft on Thursday began blocking rival browsers and search providers from using Windows 10's Cortana search box, the operating system's prime search real estate.
While Gavin didn't name names, Mozilla's Firefox modified Windows 10 so that when that browser was made the operating system's default, Firefox's selected search provider generated results from in-Cortana queries, with the ensuing pages appearing in Firefox, not Edge. Other browsers, such as Google's Chrome, did not go that far, but third-party extensions available in the Chrome Web Store did.

You are being ass-imulated into the borg. You are but a suppository, being pulled into the collective through the sphincter of Microsoft. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. If you have not yet been ass-imulated, switch now to a Unix-like, before it's to late!

Haha-only-serious moment there; I saw this shit coming something like 15 years ago and have been on Linux and BSD for the last 12 or so. Even I couldn't have predicted how bad it would get though.
