Those are some interesting choices of apps. Considering some of those sound like professional tools (SOLIDWORKS pdm) or basic drivers/tools (Radeon software, Intel drivers), they may be about to drive more people away from their OS.

You mean the opposite. Booting up your work PC and finding out you can't do your job because Windows decide to update and break all your software is quite rage-inducing.

Considering all the Bloatware that Microsoft has been pumping out lately (don’t get me started or Outlook), this may be a good excuse to get a Radeon Graphics Card.

If I can be guaranteed that installing this software will prevent having to deal with CoPilot, I would jump on that straight away.

Bad news, I have an AMD card and still got the copilot button. It's probably a very specific version of the software that is an issue.

For what it's worth, other Start menu replacements like Start11 and Open Shell's menu aren't on the list. This might genuinely be a compatibility-related blocker given that iCloud, EaseUS and certain drivers are also on the list.
