Maybe they're including the unlicensed codec in their computers.
Ahh, if that's the case, i have no sympathy for fucking with a stock OS before handing it to the user. Nobody likes vendor bloatware
Not even if it's a free codec you'd normally have to pay for?
Id be questioning what else they changed that I don't see
I mean it's probably not going to be much shadier than the OS itself. Fuck Windows.
