Even if you pirate it, you still pay with the immense amount of data they take, even if you opt out of a bunch of it (which you can only do temporarily anyway).
Windows 11 Pro is $200. There are ways to get it cheaper, but that is what Microsoft charges for it…and they still collect a bunch of data and serve you a bunch of ads.
Imagine paying for Windows. What a waste of money.
Imagine paying for Windows when massgravel exists…
Windows is free though.
Oh no, the manufacturer of any computer with a windows license paid for it and passed that cost to you. You paid for it.
No, you download it for free from Microsoft. No need to buy a pre built machine.
I’m the manufacturer of all of my computers though? So there’s no cost? I don’t know what you’re getting at.
I’m more talking about laptops, you can use it without paying for it on a device you build yourself, albeit with some functionality restricted.
There’s no restrictions, though!

Yeah for sure!
It literally isn’t.

They don’t take any data, that’s a myth.
Lmao ok mate, you have a nice day.

I’m never touching Windows 11, but it’s… free. I’ve installed it on computers for folks upon request. You just use an activator and debloater.
Microsoft doesn’t serve you anything and doesn’t collect anything.
