You think i'm paying for windows?

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

You've never bought a laptop with Windows?

But aside from that, even if you downloaded an ISO then cracked it, you're still paying for it in the same way you pay for Google services - with your personal information.

Let just say you don't pay... with money.

Most people who think Windows came with the computer for free don't know that the licence cost is baked into the total cost.
