Hmm, when Google give out a free OS on cheap hardware, you all cried about it. And look at Kindles, ffs; at-cost hardware, but the e-books cost more than dead tree books!
Enter Microsoft.. doing the same: "Wow, it's amazing! Sign me up!! Why didn't they think of this before?? Take my data up your arse!"
I'm tired of this "forum". Never any discussions on technical merit, just fanboys, shills, and students.
Call me old, because I'm not from the "google generation", but I'm quite happy paying for a full OS, even upgrades/maintenance - and get to keep/abuse/recycle my hardware. I remember when Windows was ok, until they started copying the bad parts of both apple and google - and for whatever reason, the MS fans actually love it.
Well, you can shove your freemium, ad driven, in-app purchases up your well fucked arses.
And who the fuck is that on my lawn?? Oh, my meds have arrived.
