No one but MS wants this. Stop strawmanning people, you dolt. No one hates on Linux for its lack of ads.

But you enable MS's bad behavior. They know you all have no backbone.

There's no strawmanning, just the consequences of endorsing abusive behavior done by parasites.

Don't say "you". You have no idea what we stand for, wish for, or condone. Such pretentiousness should be saved for when you actually know your audience.

Using Microsoft Windows or any of its derivatives is endorsement of that software. Every user of Windows is a sucker. OP's post is not the end nor the start.

Get real, the audience of Windows is an audience of self-enabling victims.

"But I have to use it for work!!!! I have to make money!"

You are still a sucker and perpetuating this broken system. If that makes you angry, it should, the artifice of respectable neo-liberal society was stripped from you.
