Why is buying Windows such a bad thing?

>Hahaha you wasted 5-6 hours of a day’s work on a legitimate copy of Windows! You could’ve just downloaded a sketchy ISO and skiddy powershell scripts from a Russian/Indian botnet on Assgrave!
I guess if you do zero personal banking and you’re a neet, it’s probably better, but I’d rather not give my bank info to Ivan or Rajindahar.
>B-BUT LTSC!
Literal placebo. Don’t you think it’s a little sketchy Microsoft allows Assgrave stuff to be hosted on a site they literally own? They probably pump that shit with more telemetry knowing some chud who can’t afford a legit copy and is too lazy to use powershell or the GPO to remove about 90% of the bloat that LTSC does themselves.
>>
>Why is buying Windows such a bad thing?
Because you're giving money to shareholders, jeets, jews and other scum.
>>
>sketchy ISO
The ISO files are straight from Microsoft.
>skiddy powershell scripts
Scripts that activated my Windows with zero issues by triggering official code on Microsoft's servers.
>I’d rather not give my bank info to Ivan or Rajindahar
Nothing is permanently installed by the massgrave scripts so why would anything funnel towards Russia or India?
>>
>>110058225
why are you making up arguments with yourself
are you ok

>Nothing is permanently installed by the massgrave scripts
This. You can even wipe your disk, reflash your BIOS, and reinstall Windows from the installer that comes from Microsoft after running the massgrave script. It will activate as soon as it connects to the internet.

You're paying to put spyware on your PC.

Because Bill Gates sent all the money to Africa. Your copy of Windows helped the third world invasion of Europe.

just verify checksums of isos and check source code of activation scripts
>>
>>110058225
>5-6 hours of a day’s work
You can at least buy one of those $5 keys off some keysite if you want to avoid the activation scripts, do you have a particular fetish about overpaying for a shitty OS that's actively hostile to user interests?
>>
>>110058225
Microsoft distribute Windows ISOs through the media creation tool you mongoloid.
>skiddy powershell scripts from a Russian/Indian botnet on Assgrave!
They're open source, ask a chatbot to parse them for you.

Anyway, buying Windows 11 is bad because you're giving money to jeets and globalists, and because it's a shit product I wouldn't use if it was free.
>>
>wangblows doesn't even come with the office suite anymore
What the fuck is this? I could understand paying for windows if it actually has all the word, excel, teams shit that everyone and their dog uses because they are used to it but not even that is included.
I'm already being turned into a product by MS farming my meta data why the fuck would I pay for that pleasure.
Other providers at least have the decency to offer me my cattle status for free.

Don't get me wrong. I'm using windows but I wouldn't pay for it.

Fuck off shill

>>110058225
>Why is buying Windows such a bad thing?
Because it's like cheering up Microsoft: "Yeah, here, take my hard earned money, I love what you did to Windows, I love Windows 11, keep going on like this, please!!!!"
>>
>>110058545
The problem is even if you didn't pay for it you're still helping them by using Windows.
The only way to give them the middle finger is to not use their products at all, let them bleed users and slowly lose relevance.

I genuinely thought that was Plasma.

>>110058739
The main difference is that plasma is actually good and usable.

you're kidding, right. they're both fucking trash.

Not really when they don't have pixels as such, though there is always a practical limit of course.
>>
>>110058225
Alright, how the fuck did a windows install take you 5-6 hours? What the fuck were you doing?

I somehow managed to reply in the wrong thread altogether.
Anyway, KDE is the best desktop out there right now.

Holy fuck, this is by far the most retarded post I've ever seen on /g/ that is truly impressive.

Plenty of paid shills like OP posting here, hopefully you'll see the patterns soon so you can ignore them for the bullshit they are.

massgravel activations are as legitimate as OEM windows installs you get from Dell or Lenovo, and leave no external code besides the system image
Anyways it's on github because MS doesn't care if you pirate enterprise or use Linux or whatever, they get all their money with OEM fees and enterprise VL contracts. Homefags are irrelevant to them and you'll realize this the moment you ask for tech support on your paid license and get redirected to a fucking developer knowledgebase article with open contribution enabled because nobody uses PCs at home anymore besides gamers and NERDS

I found a cracker in GitHub. Not even sketchy not even a big deal. Even if you don't pay it still works it just puts a watermark on your desktop. Never pay for windows
>>
>>110058498
It came with Wordpad but if you think that is an an Office Suite you need help.
>>110059002
This. VL and server licenses are where it's at. That's why they have CAL licenses that do phone home to daddy Microsoft and tattle if you are off.

Newegg. Get pro retail.

dumbass

>>110058225
Because you shouldn’t need to. I bought Windows 7 and only upgraded my machine with my one key every time there was a new copy of Windows. If you’re paying, you’re doing it wrong.
>>
>>110058225
Because Linux is free?

Dont care, I use openoffice. No need to fiddle with cracked software, you don't use cracked software, right OP?

If the retarded HR girl wants me to change a number in xer spreadsheet, I use the online version of Office. If your job doesn't give you a license of Office then you're probably a wagie complaining about things you don't need. Log off and KILL YOURSELF nigger
