Ffs. Don't you collect enough data from your users you greedy fucks?
If people actively pay for this, they are bloody idiots.
Well...guess there's going to be loads of people paying for this then.....
If people just paid for this that’d be one thing. How many businesses out there can’t function if they don’t have access to windows?
You’re right though; bloody idiots!
Change is hard and expensive. Not to mention there aren't a lot of good alternatives. Linux is good but the flexibility is also a potential drawback as there isn't a standard way of doing things.
Not to mention a lot of business software runs on Windows and Windows alone. You will not get support for anything else.
a lot more of people's and business use cases can already easily be on linux than we give it credit for though.
in the business side someone will sadly have to be the early adopter for the rest to come through.
There is literally no such thing as too much money in our society.
There is, though.
Theoretically, according to MS, there is no data collection. It's all on-device.
I mean...I highly doubt they're not going to at least pulling aggregate data from this...
That might boil the frog too quickly. Especially considering the public backlash they're reveiving.
