content: I do like that people are trying, but they are absolutely missing the point.  Microsoft needs massive pushback on this if Windows isn't to be a trap for the majority of the populace.    As for anyone reading this?  Of course just install Linux.  Or, more accurately (if you can't do without something in Windows), you'll need two computers going forward- one for whatever the fuck is so important to install a permanent keylogger/botnet in your home, using Malwindows, and another for all your banking, journaling, browsing, development, emailing, etc. needs.    At this point Apple is a reasonable option (with many of the things Windows has), Windows 7 remains mostly reasonable (for now), and only Linux is actually on your side- but with Microsoft doing all they can to lock you in and block compatibility, there's still some goddamned Windows program each person wants to run- and they'll blame Linux for not running it, lol.
