Fuck it. Force them from release date. There's no reason for them to dictate what you can and cannot run on the hardware you purchase. If they can't compete by providing a better OS or software, and must rely on anti-competitive models to profit, then they don't deserve to waste the planets resources.

    Fair enough, just thought proposal above would have higher chances to get approved 😇

    You start high and negotiate down. If you start low, you'll get even less
