already on linux. The only reason i ever load windows is my capture card doesn't work with linux yet (so like 2 times a month) this is how windows dies

Ok and I'll just crack it like I do with every other windows version.

Once I paid $250 for Windows pro and a month later my licence key stopped working, and Microsoft didn't do shit.

I even bought it directly from them!

Never paid money for Windows since.

at this point is there even a reason to use windows? I genuinely want to know from windows users, why are you still on this operating system?

for many years (since windows 8.1) I switched to using only linux (and at times macos), and I have never regretted my decision; what keeps you using this hellish platform?
