> I’m not bothered by the Windows Store limitation very much, but not being able to set another browser by default is ridiculous. If Chrome or a newcomer ever arrives in the Windows Store, I should be free to set those as my default.

It's worse than that. Windows 10 S is like iOS in that it forbids any other browser or JavaScript engine on the platform. So you'll never be able to run true Firefox or Chrome or any other alternative browser engine on Windows 10 S.

For my purposes this makes Windows 10 S unusable. I don't want to use EdgeHTML, I want to use real Firefox:
