This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I have heard that Windows underclocks your CPU over time, to make you buy a new computer, and so Microsoft can get money from the new PC's preinstalled Windows license.

I am not really sure if that's true though.

I would say this is half true. Microsoft is known for pushing lots of software updates with unwanted features, so it’s probably that a computer will feel slower over time.

However that’s not an underclock it’s just that the CPU can’t keep up with that much bloatware.
