They can do that but I’m sure there are workarounds. I just briefly did a google search on ‘Windows activation workarounds’ and I already see some methods and people talking of them.

So again, Microsoft can fuck themselves.

They had it right for a while when you could install Linux on them, but Google decided we couldn’t have nice things and ruined that.

After seeing how Chromebooks were, which were treated as just Android-like OSes in laptop shelling. Absolutely not.

I end up sometimes giving up on having the thing. Because sometimes it’s an effect of just feeling personal greed.

But I will almost never give in and pay for the thing. Some things out there, aren’t worth the price and even if the price was right, it’s not worth the support.

Like Microsoft, I’ve not paid for a single Windows OS in my entire life. I’ve always gotten Windows second hand or buying machines off from people who happen to have the latest Windows on it.

Adobe, haven’t paid a single penny for their Photoshop program, kept pirating.

Part of pirating is just wheeling and patience. You will eventually, one day, get what you seek.

Ha! I’m good until 2032 so fuck you, Microsoft!

History is an orchestra of this. Constantly showcasing events that pre-dated them happening to the aftermath of them happening.

Science Fiction authors from the 40s, 50s and 60s toyed with many scenarios and theories about where technology would wind up. Half of them were right, half of them were wrong. I think it’d be a dumb thing to say what you quoted.

Yeah I know. I don’t get people’s irrational need to ruin something that’s going good. Christ, big run-a-mouths are the reason we’ve lost some good piracy sources and services.

We are currently in an active war over information and content.

So, I would say just do it. Do what you can. Do it for yourself, do it for a cause, whatever, as long as it isn’t corporate dictating what we can or can’t have.

So they invest millions in a project that fundamentally failed, ax the official servers prematurely and pretend it doesn’t exist.

But then go after people who still bother with it.

They ought to be fucking thankful people still play it at all.
