As an American, all I can say is thank you Europe for continuing to have sensible legislation that forces these companies to have decent policies worldwide if only to comply with EU laws. I only use Windows on my company provided laptop but just because I don't need to worry about it personally doesn't mean that I shouldn't care about how it affects others.
We're basically dependent on the EU and California to have any rights as consumers at all.
That's pretty crazy when I think about it. And I'm from within the EU.
