Can we get that version here in Canada
You have a common border with Denmark, right? There might be a possibility there....
We do! We actually just ended the dispute peacefully a few months ago:

Yes...ended it...that's exactly what we want you to think. "muhahahaa..."

Aw man, that was my favorite war
Maybe if Canada enter in the EU
I think MS talked about how they handle detection. And it isn't based on Geolocation, but the choosen install language/region. If you choose one where the DMA applies, you will get the DMA options. For english speakers there should be a Euope (English) install option.
Tho, this does require reinstalling your system.
What? Oh no! I have to look into this.
Edit: is this about their not blocking Microsoft queries? I see that outcry caused them to pivot away from that stance but that story gives me pause. Is there even a privacy search engine to replace them?
Thanks :)
Feel free to join the EU 😅
