“But you still have to smack down a few walls, disable the cameras we added, find a way to go trough your door without having your anus print registered with us, and keep us from moving your furniture to our warehouse, all for your convenience ofcourse.”
As soon as I realized that Microsoft laughs at people trying to harden Windows I switched to Linux and never looked back. Microsoft doesn’t care about you hardening it and they don’t care about cracked versions in the slightest. You’re a statistic with an advertisement in your home and you’ll still be making money for them.
You’re a statistic: Your Windows installation is used in the metrics that software developers (such as game developers) use when considering what platforms to support
An advertisement in your home: Whenever somebody visits you, uses your computer, or talks about computers with you, you are showing them that you support Windows by using it which is a form of advertising.
You’ll be making money for them: Microsoft makes money on a macro scale. As I said, they don’t care about you bypassing licensing, blocking stuff, or anything similar. You use Windows, and because everybody just follows that same mentality, they are getting big money from companies and computer vendors, because they have huge monopoly.
“Here have this brand new house!!”
