Chrome OS is basically designed to run the browser and nothing else. I wouldn't expect to be able to change it. Windows can run many browsers, seems like being able to choose the default one would be a feature of such an OS.
Remember, with Apple you had to buy the hardware from them. The markup already paid for multiple OS upgrades during the hardware's lifetime. With Microsoft, you paid for your OS license when you bought someone else's hardware. They added the OS as a bulk buy and paid a big discount over the retail price. Microsoft has to make their money somewhere.
A product they are keeping around to support legacy business applications is still on a machine focused on education? No wonder Edge is losing, it can't even beat out its predecessor.
I work in a building where the heating system is controlled by a Windows 95 machine. Big deal. It's not network connected, and runs like a champ. It only changes the configuration of the system, it doesn't run the system minute by minute. If it goes down, we can recreate it easily. Worry about business critical infrastructure, not old hardware that works.

Providing free updates to old OSs means that people paying for new versions are subsidizing the people who won't upgrade.
Is Microsoft Word available on the Apple Store?
The interface they are building sounds like the spoken word version of Microsoft Bob.
Brain surgery? Then we need a brain surgeon like Ben Carson!
No one might have noticed.
So I can find some mp3 files to play.
Use kites as launch platforms. They're wind powered.

Now those people who are allergic to Wifi will have no where to hide.
I get enough astrophotoes of space junk now, I don't need 4,425 more objects to avoid taking pictures of.

Inception: Buying Windows from the Windows store.
I hate molten gas. My house is full of it, and no matter what I do it keeps coming in.
How do you translate "All Glory to the Hypnotoad!" into Chinese? It won't be complete without it.
Just not a very useful one. ICBMs need to be launched at a moment's notice. No time to fuel them up before launch.
They need to design ICBM stages that land so they can be reused in our next nuclear conflict.
Yes! The weather really worked out for a great view. Loved seeing the reentry burn from the ground perspective.

It's not modern hardware, and yes, we still have extra hardware that could run Win 95. If necessary, we could visualize it.

Sooner or later I will need a knee replacement. It would be nice to have a tissue one instead of metal and plastic.
Loved SLS Linux. It was so buggy it motivated a lot of people to make really great Linux distributions.
