When has Microsoft started enforcing that mandatory online account bullshit in Windows installer? Was it like 3 years ago? I’ve had 4 computers with Windows in my home. Now it’s just 1, the other 3 have been running Linux since then because I’m fucking sick and tired of always looking up those dumbass bypass methods. I’m only dealing with Windows on last one because of gaming. And honestly, can’t wait the day I can migrate that one to Linux full time too. Unfortunately it’s not there yet for me.
I don’t think they have any kind of grasp on reality, so they still probably think they can’t fail. Seeing them slowly implode is so much fun right now.
MSFT has relied on their vendor lock’n strategy for 30 years now. It is truly awesome to see their grip weaken. It’s especially awesome to see all their free capital tied up in the AI war, so they have no money to throw around and enforce their market dominance.

Empires fall my friend, specially if they have a fucking ‘Nero’ at the helm.
Microsoft doesn’t give a shit about the common consumer. Their dough comes from business and enterprise clients. Azure the hill they’ll die on.
