Hey, Microsoft, it's not your fucking job to serve ads. It is not your fucking job to be the middleman for payment transactions. Your only job is to provide an operating system.

It's not your job to tell Microsoft what they can and can't work on or what services they provide.
The problem is we don’t pay for the operating system anymore.
I do, and then MS just keeps revoking my licenses because I change hardware, real fun user experience all this.
Aren't retailers still paying for licenses? Or there's some easier way to get keys as a business?

I noticed even shops that sell refurbished computers will shove Windows 10 into them, I always thought it was around 10-20 bucks for a license, so that later they can charge us 90-100 for a computer with windows...

You can always just use vlmcsd
