Even the OS (like MS Windows) will be subscription. I don't give a flying fuck, as I use Linux. And I have 0 (zero) subscriptions. I feel free, without vices (other than smoking).

I use Windows exclusively because that's my comfort zone. I've been thinking of installing a Linux distro on my unRAID server to get more comfortable using it, because I will never pay a subscription for Windows.
