    It comes with almost all new laptops, and a key you can easily find for 5€ online.

    It is basically free for anyone, except businesses.

    You can just buy the N version instead, which does not have any of the advertisement or bloatware, as instructed by the EU. But then you will have to pay a bit more.

      You’re still paying for it. The price is just hidden from you in the total of the laptop but you’re still fucking buying it.

      An OS shouldn’t have ads. Period. Especially one that isn’t free, enough with the idea that ads being everywhere (and the privacy violations that come with it) is fine or normal, it isn’t and it shouldn’t be.
