A Windows pop up, right above the system tray. Holy fuck. I would have screen shot it but I was in disbelief.

I don't know why people are surprised when a for-profit company prioritizes profits over their customers...

I was actually quite happy to pay for Windows all these years... it's when they went "free" that this BS started. Go back to a paid model and give us vanilla windows, please!

Can't have profit if you lose all your customers.

Can't make the quarterly numbers with that kind of long-term thinking.

They won't because they are the industry standard. That's the problem with tech these days, there is barely any competition

If they lose customers they'll just try to exploit the few they have left. As more people switch to another OS windows is going to get worse and worse.

They bought the ticket, but don't want the ride for some reason.
