Microsoft: “Windows 10 is the last version of Windows.”
Everyone on June 15th, 2021: “So that was a fuckin’ lie.”
Lol 😂
I fucking hate recent Microsoft.
Yes it was
@Nlizun epic
If you don't know why than I probably won't be able to successfully explain why.
@@virtualwarp Because you likely lack the vocabulary to do so lol
Microsoft has always been shitty - its not a recent thing. You could explain why you hate "recent" Microsoft as opposed to "historical" Microsoft and specify exactly what timeframe "recent" is.
Its free and allowed to be pirated on purpose so that we don’t go to Linux
haha yeah but that trick didn't work for me. my win7 laptop slowed up real bad, chucked an SSD in it and switched to linux mint about 3 years ago. never looked back. brilliant.
Tried to jump on Linux several times in a row, but eventually returned to Windows anyway - first time it was freezing issues on Lubuntu, second time it was lack of proper Wi-Fi drivers on Xubuntu, third time I gave up on configuring Bluetooth and touchpad sensitivity in Mint (both were borked for some reason). I *want* to love and use a Linux Desktop, but so far its worst enemy is, well, Linux Desktop - even with increasing QoL features, it's still a bunch of jank compared to Windows or macOS.
I wouldn't switch to Linux even if someone paid me to do it. 😂
@@mario123m 😂😂👌
@@mario123m in 2011... i bought used laptop from a programmer with Linux Mint installed. I formatted to windows 7 and he was kinda mad/disappointed xD
you also forgot another aspect:
if people are used to one operating system at home, companies are practically bound to use it as well so that their workers can actually work.
training is a thing.
@@DVankeuren yes. But if you have a choice between using a program/OS that everyone know, or to train your workers to use something completely different, the choice is usually pretty clear.
I agree. There are some unscruplous companies out there who conspire with universities and offer free stuff, trainings and other cheap junk to lecturers so that they teach only their software. That way, when students graduate and enter the work force, they'll force their employers to buy that particular software bcs it's the only one they know how to use.
So why am I being forced to use Windwos at work when I have Linux at home?
@@cigmorfil4101 because your boss has windows at home.
And the guy that made the software your company uses.
And they assume that most employees will use Windows, so they write the programms for Windows.
In other words: go work in a technical field with a degree. There you'll use a Unix based system.
When you can earn more by selling user data instead of OS ۔ :)
When you can sell surrounding services and ad space, oh and some user data I guess(mostly for the advertisers to use)...
that's not true, we don't sell users data.
@@DavidSanchez-uq8tp I mean for the advertising there's bound to be some user data exchange, likely anonymized to a degree tho.
You should read terms and conditions before installing new windows 10
@@DavidSanchez-uq8tp I think you don't know how ad sense or ad bids or ad impressions work then... Just because the data is anonymized behind a session id doesn't mean you're not selling users data to provide them with relevant ads. You just don't sell people's Personally Identifiable Information (PII, which is name, e-mail, etc) which may not matter, even with enough non-"PII" people can be identified.
For example if I grab a general Geo-IP Location and a few apps installed such as Razer Synapse to deliver gaming related ads, and ads relevant to stores in that area, if the person lives in a more rural place, it's easier to gather the few people in that area who own Razer Keybaords and tie their session id to a person.

I love how the most useful thing that I got from my school was a Windows 10 Pro key + Office 365.
At least you got office. I was in an Build Environment Faculty in Uni (Architecture) and all we are offered is Windows copies. What I did was I got Win 7, 8, 8.1 keys off Dreamspark and then use the keys for Windows 10. For office though, there is Shopee for me...
Nice , I only got pirated SQL server management, that's doesn't even want to work right .
Pommersch Wolf I did too after they tried to sell me a new key when I just wanted to use my old W10 key on a new Pc.

Winrar's CEO said that there's no reason to charge for single use consumers. He rather have millions of people use WinRAR and suggest it to companies where the real money is. WinRAR makes about 500k per year from license (I could be outdated in this fact) and the CEO mentions that's enough to run WinRAR because everyone wins at the end.

Finally I got it from ruclips.net/video/KDwYq_zFU4A/видео.html
I like some of the transitions, but sometimes they're a bit too much and are seemingly random. Since we use these persistent elements that transition across pages to indicate some kind of relationship between the previous and the next states, some of your transitions confuse me because I can't immediately see what the relationship is.
For example 2:23 of the selectable tiles (which weren't selected) transition into being two switches... does that mean anything? are they related in some way? I see this as random and a bad use of the design language. However, at 1:14 I like the transition from switches to the ticks on a paper, that makes sense to me. Epic presentation tho
So is windows really free?
Yes! But actually no
Well* yes, but actually no
I was literally able to activate windows for free lol. The Activate Windows watermark is gone, and I can access the store and change my wallpaper too. Even it says windows is activated inside the properties of "This PC" LOL

"Microsoft *heavily* pushes apps from the virtual Microsoft Store"
I had completely forgotten that's a thing that exists...
Only time I encounter it is when I reinstall windows and go to delete all bloatware.
I'm sure Microsoft will push a new update to remind you about the store.
@@TechnoDelight that is when you have to do a reg change to stop win 10 from phoning home about that
yes
That's something only power users will do, average Joe is actually using the Microsoft store as there is pretty useful apps for tons of things (like a torrent or basic photo edition apps) the apps got adds so that's a win for Microsoft (or they hope it will be one day)

Home builds probably account for a tiny share of their market share, well worth the sacrifice for them if they can get people into their ecosystem. Most of the cash for Windows comes from the OEMs, and they're not going to ship Windows without shelling out for a license.
I've gotten so used to the watermark I feel like it disappears sometimes lol.
Lol same. I'm just glad when I record in-game cutscenes, the recording software doesn't pick it up.

That's 2010. In 2020 you are the product even if you pay, might as well save some buck.
they obviously just make more money off telemetry analytics just like every other tech company is now. Not even Microsoft can be trusted any longer. And thus, the end is spelled for my willingness to use new closed-source Microsoft products for preferential use outside of gaming related activities. Old software and Linux are here to stay
Even if it can't necessarily be proven, without the source code I cannot prove that it isn't happening either. And besides, all that telemetry hogs resources. Barnacules' career died for this

From my understanding, the product key is stored somewhere within some portion of the hardware or firmware (BIOS??) after installation it will "recognize" if that computer has been used before and will simply re-activate on its own. I remember when Win10 was first released and there was worry about if you change enough of your hardware you'd have to re-activate the OS and might have a problem because Microsoft would no longer "recognize" your PC and the "updated specs".
Manufactures should recognize the BIOS UUID to do that.
To get thus use wmic path win32_computersystemproduct get uuid
If you want it without the upper "UUID" string use that: wmic path win32_computersystemproduct get uuid | find /v "UUID"
Mine is 34444335-3934-5031-5638-3863BBA7FAEC
It is attached to your motherboard so it'll stay the SAME unless you change your motherboard.

Well played Microsoft.

You know there was initially a plan for them to do the same thing with Xbox. I read a story that Microsoft at one point Considered giving the Original Xbox for free and just making money off game software sales because they were so determined to beat Sony in the beginning because they thought that the PS2 could be a threat to Windows dominance on PC.
I think it has to do with Microsoft wanting to get everyone on windows 10 before they start charging for it.

Here’s another tip: if you activate windows through an email signed in on windows, your key gets stored so you could technically reuse it.
You can indeed, altough your previous system gets "removed" from the activated systems associated to the key as consumer keys can only have 1 system linked at all times
When a "product" is provided for free, *you* are the product.
Actually it is more like "When a product is free for you someone else pays for it"
So, open source software does not exist
When their primary product is provided for free, like with Facebook and Google. Not in this case. Microsoft are the ones paying for it, it's just marketing. They don't make too much money from windows keys outside enterprise anyway, they can make more by keeping their market share. When consoles are sold under cost it's also not suddenly some shady scheme.
@@ishdx9374 Kinda, but the free software foundation let you donate as much as you want. So if you feel guilty, just give them a buck, pray them, and both of you will be fine.

Been using a unlicensed copy of windows and after 3 hours 10 minutes of uptime the watermark appears so you can just do an advanced shut down and when you boot it resets the uptime which means you wont get the watermark
I'm going to get a wall paper with the windows watermark at work to piss coworkers off.
Jokes on microsoft, I used the registry editor to disable bing and ads in my start menu and uninstalled all their bloatware, spyware, and auto-updates.
Halex yes
What about the spyware?
You could just turn off internet search in the start menu settings without the need for registry editing
teach me
Yeah but Microsoft still got you because you had to use time out of your life to disable this things

Fantastic!
Anybody else feeling that this guy mimics the expressions, intonation, body language, and delivery of Linus from LinusTechTips?
Windows 10: You get to have your pc infested with bloat, ads and literal spyware... Now FOR FREE!!
Real Reason: To track people, companies are even willing to make hardware at a loss if it means they can use data and make enough money from software.
Had to scroll plenty for the actual reason.
@@hhrhheh you genuinely believe that it isn't all data?
That is basically how consoles operate
Microsoft: please activate Windows

@Norbert Kas Not true, he is still one of the largest shareholders with 100 million shares as of March 2020 according to the New York Times and cnbc.
I like how Linus is in the first ad in this video for me XD
Admittedly before the video even started, I got an ad from Pulseway with Linus on it. Good stuff.

Shit movie
"Execute Windows 66."
I feel lucky I haven't seen that movie.

you forgot to mention with the free os upgrades, they remove features and compatibility hoping you rebuy newer versions of office (older versions of outlook no longer function) and upgrade from home to pro (to use folder sharing). they dont seem to understand that settings can be modified in the os to fix the networking and there are free alternatives like Libreoffice, thunderbird etc.. to stop re-buying MS applications.
I haven't used microsoft office in 10 years, I mostly use libre office, but I would like to add the Google office to your list which I believe is currently steam-rolling Microsoft office
