Windows 10 S laptops won't let you switch from Edge or Bing

When Microsoft revealed the details of Windows 10 S on Tuesday, it sounded awfully similar to the beleaguered Windows RT. But it looks like there's a little Windows 8.1 with Bing in there too: Microsoft will not allow Windows 10 S device owners to change the default web browser or the default search engine, as first spotted by The Verge. That means Microsoft Edge and Bing are the inescapable defaults for Windows 10 S, a stripped-down version of Windows 10 that only allows programs to be downloaded and installed from the Windows Store. Unsurprisingly, Microsoft didn't tout the defaults disadvantage during the low-buck operating system's debut, including it it in an online FAQ instead. Nevertheless, the truth is out there now, and it sucks for anyone who prefers Google or DuckDuckGo as their search engine.
