I was a very happy Windows user and purchased legit licenses for myself and my business. I didn't hate the Mac but I had only used it since OS 9 and I felt Windows was much more stable and customizable. Years go by and I find myself not being able to get a Windows XP license to install because my activation code from the box didn't work. I spend 5+ hours talking to all kinds of support. No one can help me get past this activation code.
And that was it. I switched everything to Apple. Anything purchased new for myself or my business was Apple. Windows, Microsoft, Xbox, etc. I won't even consider. The only thing I've used that's Microsoft in the last 20+ years is Github.
With their present moves, I know my relationship with Apple products will end with a similar sentiment.

- tacker2000 4y agoHaha how does the rest go… RHQQ2 ?
- bombcar 4y agoSomething like that, back in the day I had it memorized and would use it even when I had purchased a perfectly valid license, too hard to look around at the back of the computer (even with a valid sticker you were supposed to put it in a place that wasn't "removable"). I think the "FCK" made it super memorable.

- faitswulff 4y agoClose, it's YXRKT. Unfortunately that's where my memory ends.
- prottog 4y agoI just typed it out to see if I could remember, despite not having used it in over a decade. It's funny what sticks to your mind.
