Lol.
I remember having to disable internet when installing windows 10 so I'm not forced to make a micro$hit account.
They really don't care at all about users. It's all about abuse at this point.
Had to do that with Doom III in 2004. Old news.
It's not really a big deal, unless you're used to the freedom of Linux, which comes with it's own issues. If M$ ever truly forces me into a corner, I'm out. And they won't. Like Adobe allowing low-key piracy, they know they need the vast user base to remain relevant.
