Holy cow, didn't realize just how bad Microsoft is getting. That behavior is unjustifiable especially considering this is just for wallpapers.

MODERATORS
this is not the first time they do something like this
Microsoft needs to be broken up along with Google
I'm not trying to shill for Google but I really think it would be a mistake to break up Google without breaking up Microsoft simultaneously if not first. If they actually manage to crack open Google's search and browser monopoly, who do they really think is going to start filling in that void? Local mom and pop search engines..? No it's primarily going to be Microsoft with Bing and Edge, and I'm absolutely certain that whatever people don't like about Google having its monopolies is going to be orders of magnitude worse if Microsoft gains ground there.
