- This is why I never feel guilty about "pirating" Windows. I've already paid for it!
- 4ggr0 11mo agohuh, good point! never saw it that way. never bought a pre-built myself, but the first PC i got when i was a kid was a pre-built with Windows on it. the argument i always used is that Windows feels like spyware, and slowly seems to turn into it. showing me ads, selling my data. don't see why i should pay for this.
