Those of you who still use windows for one reason or more, where do you draw the line about the shitty things microsoft is doing? By drawing the line I mean using some other operating system no matter how bothersome it might be.

Not judging or anything, i’m just curious where the general mindset is about it.

    Any of these things comes to mind:

    • Not respecting my configuration.
    • Updates taking hours and then having to boot safe mode to repair after said update.
    • Having to constantly fight spyware.
    • The feeling that my computer is not my own.
    • Stupid design decisions.
    • Feeling like an unpaid tester for an anti-consumer company.

    If it does not work on linux, I don’t buy it. I’m sick of Microsoft. They feel like abusers.

      But all of these things are already happening. Why are you still a Windows user if these are your lines in the sand? (Did you mis-read the assignment?)
