Windows 10 is a mess.

This is nothing new.

If I owned Microsoft and did this, I'd be patting myself on the back. Companies aren't charities, they exist to make money. It's only as retarded as the people who pay for it.

No one is forcing you to buy anything.
If you do pay for it, you fucking deserve to be robbed of money.

Linux + GNU userland also has paid themes. What's your point?

You gotta pay the rights to use these images and shades of color!

>>57303261
They should've partnered with Windowblinds or something.

>>57303261
Horry shit

No wonder they make it such a mess to customize your windows like they did in the desktop threads

>>57303261

try Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Mint, or Mate

Hello sir,

i am sorry if you don't like these premium themes

you must understand that these themes are top quality and people enjoy them so much

i am thankful for microsoft for doing this

What /g/ doesn't get, and it seems never will get, is that for some people this is ideal. They don't use their computers for fun, customising and ricing isn't their idea of enjoyment, they just want to click a few buttons and shit happens for them. Someone who works 60 hours a week and earns $1000 will see that as money well spent to make their desktop prettier. They don't have to think about it for more than 10 seconds, they got what they want for a negligible amount of money and they move on with their life.

Stop obsessing over what other people do, you aren't even the target market here anyway. Move on with your life and find something better to do.

Don't need paid themes when you can DIY.

Can't fault them as people will buy them.

Probably Notch because he's a lazy fat fuck.

>>57306135
No, idiot, because it's not really "free". It takes time to configure your theme and find wallpapers to download. I don't care if it only takes you one minute, that is still time, time that could be used for something else, something more productive when you work all week and your spare time is precious. You focus on what you spend your time and money on, stop worrying about how other people do it.

Why do Linux users obsess over what Windows does so much? It's like they never stop talking about Windows.

buying a theme takes time
therefore buying a theme is not productive

>>57306266
It takes less time to buy a theme though, that's the crux of the argument. I presumed that we'd already accepted that our hypothetical person wants to change their theme and we're only debating how they're going to go about doing it. We're looking for the path of least resistance to that end. This person doesn't think k like you and I, and there are millions of these people out there. Computers aren't a hobby for most people, you'll never change that, especially not by calling people stupid.

Nope. The premise of your argument is flawed. Buying a theme is a waste of time.

>>57306298
No it's not, people want to make their desktop look better, it's not a waste of time to make some changes if you can do that.

>people want to make their desktop look better, it's not a waste of time to make some changes if you can do that.
I said buying a theme is a waste of time. The keyword is "buying."

>>57306111
Someone that uses their PC purely for work and nothing else won't give a shit if their desktop background looks pretty.

Most people just have the default background.

Are you trying to be retarded on purpose? You aren't winning with this, just making yourself look completely out of touch with reality.

>>57306385
did you fucking forget? winning an argument on the internet is like winning the special olympics

>>57306330
Buying a theme is waste of money, not time.
Making your own theme is a waste of time, not money.

>>57306396
Time is money. Any jew knows this.
