I haven't seen anything suggesting that they actually do.

My legit Windows 10 didn't seem to give a fuck when I unzipped Microsoft Toolkit.exe on it for use in a VM. I even tried running it to see if it would detect and block my blatant use of piracy tools.

Limited to their tech only, not other company tech. Like windows store apps, software/games from store and hardware design via explicit agreement between MS and other company, ex. Signature PC / Laptop, VR, Controller, etc2..

>>56801484
As opposed to you, I either pay for the software I use, or use a free alternative.

kek, just installed 8.1 again and with the new drivers for this piece of shit motherboard it finally works pretty decently

>>56801484
Just how well have they managed to secure this "feature"?

I'd think someone out there would provide a fix for this. Personally, I don't see myself upgrading from windows 7 until this can be circumvented, even if that means not playing games anymore.

>>56801484
Why are you complaining?

If Windows implodes on itself, that means people might actually start supporting Linux

You really don't need a huge monitor for PC. Because you know, you sit right in front of it. I would say havin' a bigger PC monitor would damage your eyes more for being too close.

kek. I actually work for MS. Do you know that we know about every illegal os install. Do you know that if MS wanted too, we could disable every one of those machines. But we don't because it serves us more to have them than not have them.

They never will though. They don't even care if you pirate Windows.

>>56801484
More than 70% of windows users don't buy their paid software.
It's pretty logic they try to limit this. No?
It's like restaurants that don't accept people that can't afford their meals.

Having a bigger monitor is pretty cool for work, movies and casual games (i prefer smaller screens for real games as it makes it easier to focus on everything that's happening).

>>56813792
>It's pretty logic they try to limit this. No?
But they actually don't. So we kinda don't care they can, and this thread is as useless as OP's life.

>>56815107
And you are following this thread, no? You are even less useful

Remember that there is more to Windows 10 than the traditional desktop. For example, the Xbox.

I think the counterfeit games and hardware is more for the Xbox console than PCs. It doesn't help that the terms of service isn't very clear about this.

Not him but the no games argument is not true anymore. Windows is the best os for gaming mostly due to most game developers are trained into developing for it with microsoft's closed APIs, so the simple process of porting a game that was developed for windows to any other platform will affect negatively the performance of the game. This with the fact that the marketshare is small compared to windows there's hardly an incentive at the moment to optimize for linux, making look as if the platform were worse for games than windows when in fact to flip the situation you'll need to change the idiosyncrasies on the industry itself.

The fact though is that the situation on linux is not nearly the same than two years ago and now those who prefer linux over windows now can play games on it, helping to break the vicious circle, but still there's a lot of things to do for linux to compete in the gaming side. I anyone wants for this to change i recommend to play the games you can on linux when possible and ask for linux ports.

I notice some people doesn't want's for this to happen but if that the case let me ask (not directed specifically to the person i'm replying): how are any of you benefited in a meaningful way with the current situation? because i consider that keeping the statu quo just to have a tool to win an argument on what OS is better is not a meaningful thing. how having less options and practically being locked to MS products benefits you?

I buy games anyway. I work in the industry. I also purchase all of my audio software. Some of us have jobs.

>>56817065
>how having less options and practically being locked to MS products benefits you?

It is true that gaymes on Linux will mean a greater choice for most people, but that means drm crapware like steam gets to choke out any free competition too because cancerous companies like valve always follow the tech illiterate /v/indows babbies.

Two things.
1. Never windows 10
2. Don't pirate games unless they're EA garbage

>>56817089
no one cares

> windows 10 auto updates to anniversary edition
> makes a mess of my interface
> installs a few applications and breaks the start menu
> games like AOE2 (pirated) are absent
> downgrade and force disable automatic updates

Never again, Microsoft.

>>56813111
> Do you know that if MS wanted too, we could disable every one of those machines

Then everyone would just go back down to XP/W7/W8.1 and lock their systems out of updates and monitoring to significantly reduce Microsoft data collection.

>>56817065
Not him but the no games argument is still true. Windows is the best OS for gaming mostly due to DirectX being better than garbage Khronos puts out, so the simple process of porting a game that was developed for console to Windows to won't affect negatively the performance of the game. This with the fact that the Linux marketshare is small compared to Windows due to garbage like OpenGL/OpenAL, unstable ABIs and horrible audio stack.

The fact though is that the situation on Linux is still the same as decade ago, it's unstable trash and now those who prefer Linux still have nogames, keeping the vicious circle, but still there's a lot of things to do for Linux to compete in the gaming side. You can beg like bunch of entitled chidren on Steam forums spamming epic "no tux = no bux"

I notice some people want Linux to happen but let me ask (not directed specifically to the person i'm replying): how are any of you benefited in a meaningful way with the Linux? Because I consider that software freedom to be meme of autistic unemployed neckbeards not contributing any meaningful way to technology.

>>56801753
>Implying CNN ad MS/CNBC fare any better

>>56819348
You thibk software freedom is a meme? You do realize that without software freedom, we're left with this shit

Also you're complainibg about the Linux audio stack shows how little you know. You've probably seen that chart where they try to make it look as tangled as possible and assumed "well I know everything now." I imagine you've never written a device driver for Linux or Windows, and I can tell you right now, developing for the former is far more pleasant.

Not that anon, but it kinda is a meme.

What if you can't use free software due to your job? And if you enjoy games, non-free software and hardware is par for the course. What if you attempted to use free software and realize that you cannot use as well as the non-free software that is often standard?

Fact is, a computer is supposed to make certain tasks easier. To use something like Linux, as crippled as it is to the standard computer user, is clearly an ideological choice rather than a technical one.
