Now there will be two versions of Windows. One that adheres to EU regulation, and another that's filled with ads for everyone else.

Windows 12 Euro Trash Edition and Windows 12 Red Blooded God Anointed American Edition. If either crosses the EU boarder the computer will explode killing everyone in a 10 meter radius.

It’ll be one version, they’ll just force certain “features” on you based on the region you’re in as determined by your system time, GPS location, or IP address

system time, GPS location, or IP address

They can all easily be spoofed or changed.
