Microsoft wants everyone to suffer. Even the smarter windows users.
You would think they make enough on their corporate licenses to cover the cost of home users and whatever piracy still exists.
There’s no such thing as enough in this capitalist wasteland.
Gotta chase that perpetual growth.
I was sucker back then as I paid for a home license for $165 cad though I rectified the mistake by donating more to Linux projects all together
Same, I bought 7 and 10 but have since put more into Debian, Wikipedia, Archive.org and some other projects than I will ever spend again on a Windows license.
Office is what pays the bills. Everything else is icing on top.
Smartest users are already using OpenShell and don't have anything to fear, at least from this change... for now...
