    Testing, sampling games for free has its merits but if you play the whole game, and for sure more than once, you should support them so they can provide you with another. It is not like flac where they can tour to recoup.

    Regards

    It doesn't because I don't play online games. I prefer single player RPG's like the Witcher series and stuff.

    That is good to know. I mean to say ironically you don't play online games for that reason your security is not compromised and Linux is very safe.

    I'll still promise my FreeBSD or Embedded 7 installs are far more secure and leak far less data out than Mint, Ubuntu, etc.;)

    "A consensus of opinion among judges"! The fact is, that's still a mistake of the users NOT to read EULA's and/or Licenses, even they're pointed to it to do so!

    Yen clearly pointed to it:



    In some countries, something would be prohibited while same in others is, allowed, or accepted!

    Microsoft doesn't force anybody or anyone to buy their products. Same as nobody force anyone to use torrent with
    viruses or malwares.

    Think I might just install Qubes create AppVM for Windows 10, lock it down and open ports when needed.

    The DOD or White House must have cut some kinda deal with MS for this to happen. I can understand the Government wanting the newest and best tech, and you know they have a army of tech pro's going over the OS they receive, The DOD will probably only receive one OS. That will be gone over every witch way but loose.
    Then afterwards the will duplicate and put on other computers, I speculating about all this, the DOD must know how MS works, MS had to promise to leave the spy crap out of what it turns over to DOD or face tanks and warplanes in Redmond.

    You can patch the host file all you want. As far as I am concern if you accept any windows update,
    you get MS backdoor to collect your data.

    wait a minute. are there some freak bastards complaining about windows 10 telemwetry, yet?

    Kids, please, stop it. The tears... Oh! not the tears...

    Windows 10 is what it is. If the telemetry crap in in the licensing agreement than shut up and get used to it.

    ... or go for linux as Im doing so.. but with one hand on win 7 pro for gamming and sh$t..

    I'm using Linux Mint as my main OS for several months now and I simply love it. For gaming and ONLY gaming I'm using 10 LTSB, been sick of fishing crap Microsoft updates in my old 7 setup.
