Please do update us if Microsoft realizes how much of a D move this is.
I had a similar situation with Google and Drive. They forcefully installed it without me accepting anything or even being asked about it. Their current "Backup and Sync" is pretty much useless unless I install the new software, but it's not even half as functional!
These sort of things make me really salty.
