In a surprising move, Apple has announced today that it will adopt the RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging standard. The feature will launch via a software update “later next year” and bring a wide range of iMessage-style features to messaging between iPhone and Android users.
Apple’s decision comes amid pressure from regulators and competitors like Google and Samsung. It also comes as RCS has continued to develop and become a more mature platform than it once was.

This is the effect of the EU.
Even as an EU citizen it's a bit hard to believe...
I can't fathom that those politicians decided to finally do anything besides line some pockets from lobbyists.
Wait what about Edge? Can I finally remove it without scripts and registry hacks??
Take from it as you want because it's Microsoft...

Maybe they will water the decision down with loopholesAh fuck, here's the watering down
The company describes these changes as specific to Windows 11 PCs in the EEA, so it's unclear if users outside this area will be able to utilize these functions.
Fuckin MS lmao
Don't plan on it. -Capitalism
I wonder how this will work. So many registry tweaks which forcefully removed Edge also removed the "web view" and therefore broke a lot of parts of the OS. Maybe this is just removing the shortcuts, links and edge URIs from the OS
It's probably relatively trivial for MS since they have the entire codebase to work with.
I'm more curious on how they plan on limiting it to the EEA, I bet we'll have much simpler/safer one-click mods that will force windows into deploying these EEA only changes in any region in short order
It depends on how tightly integrated it is into the OS. Like right now File Explorer is very tightly integrated with the desktop. So much so that if you can get File Explorer to t crash, it'll most likely bring the entire desktop UI down with it.
Software is like a huge house of cards. You can't take a card from the bottom without expecting the rest of the house to stand
I don't think they've have one click methods to employ "EEA" mode or something like that. I think it's more likely to be a version of Windows compiled specifically with these limitations in mind. You'll likely have to install a specific variant of Windows for EEA
