I'm sure a big piece is Microsoft thinking "most users don't need this so we can get away with charging the few who do". I have trouble feeling outrage because it is only $100 to upgrade. I've paid almost that much for a text editor.
- yingw787 7y agoI'm not angry, I'm just disappointed. So many students and future programmers use Windows Home (I did as a kid), and Microsoft would throw away the opportunity for them to play around and lock them in. Now I can't imagine using Windows Home to program. $100 seems pricey for a text editor, my friend. Is it IntelliJ or PyCharm? Why not VSCode + Sourcegraph?
- time0ut 7y agoIt was Sublime Text 2 and 3. VSCode didn't exist yet. You do make a good point re: Windows 10 Pro. I hadn't thought of it from that perspective.
