  Windows 8.1 with Bing

    I'm perplexed that a windows version "with Bing" exist...

      Windows 8.1 with Bing is sold at a very low price with a 100% rebate (I.e it is free).

      Google shares ad revenue from bundled searches, if you use Google on Firefox then Mozilla takes 20%. Likewise for Windows OEMs and Apple Safai.

      It's a free version of Windows with Bing installed as the default search engine. Meant to compete with Chromeos.

      Oh. That explains a lot.

      In the spirit of POC||GTFO, I created a user called "testuser" on my work machine (running Windows 8.1) today, and I couldn't reproduce the problem. It seems the missing "with Bing" part may be responsible...
