“Agreements mean nothing to MS.”

I object: Microsoft cares very much about their EULAs (and the like) and will enforce them against you whenever they feel they can gain an advantage by doing so!

Remember Windows 95 when they played that Weezer song?

Could not have said it better. With MS you never do own what you “paid for”, it is forever theirs.

The license is what you paid for, yet for 30.00 I have been able to go from XP to Windows 10 pro, thru 3 PC builds, since the upgrade from Windows 8 (from XP) put me on the retail channel, and the upgrade to 8.1 pro and then W/10 pro was free. Thanks be to God.

And my experience with Linux is that can tell me that I do not own files that I put there (and I can easily edit under Windows), and obtaining permissions to do so requires sudo something each time (unless running a distro like Puppy). And overall I finder it harder to customize to the degree that I can easily do under Windows. Besides getting some hardware to run. Still, thank God we are not restricted to one OS, and I hope to see Linux desktop to improve more, and to use it on some units. At least it seems some multimedia formats are no longer restricted.

W8 was really terrible!( Dead computer- could not resuscitate!) 8.1 was better, but still sucked. Haven’t touched 8.1 laptop in a year and a half now. It should work, though.

W/8 was much like XP (but better) if you just used Classic Shell, which is now Open Shell .
