So wait this Windows thing is like a bootable Wine?
- Yeah, but imagine Wine was infested with adware and slow as fuck.
It's amazing (and sad) how much Microsoft goes out of its way to seize control over the users' machines. At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if it had remote kill switches and took your data hostage.
The computers around the world have windows malware.
When this started popping up, I made an account that I don't use for anything else but logging in, so for me there's no change at all. Is there more privacy concerns or other spy shit that I'm not considering?
Edit: I guess now I'm forced to be online just to login? That kinda sucks, but I'm sure there's more for everyone to be up in arms about it.
