If windows had an ad-riddled OEM version, and a Standard “clean” version that you could buy directly from Microsoft, I would consider windows again.

Not like there’s actually an incentive for them to do that, but I can dream.

I would pay 4 figures for a properly un-fucked version of Windows.

I don't think its ridiculous to consider a hacker/developer edition in 2023.

Four figures for an operating system license? > $1000? Really? Per computer, for just that version of Windows? Can you explain how that could be worth it?
