Microsoft have changed their terms of service so that they can monitor any of your personal content, including the files on your PC, while using their products or services and if they deem it offensive they can take that content and their products/services away from you and ban you! If you happen to have an Xbox or have bought PC games from the Microsoft Store and are logged into your Microsoft account on any device while committing your "crime" you can be banned from Xbox Live and have all your downloaded games and any credit that's still in your account taken away!
But it gets worse. This applies to all Microsoft products and services. So therefore Windows itself! I think I have already been a victim, probably due to posting here, as recently my Windows 10 key was revoked out of the blue. I contacted Microsoft and they told me my key was no longer valid but outright refused to tell me why. So I had to buy Windows 10 again. I didn't buy it direct from them of course. Please post if this has happened to you very recently too.
I'm pretty scared about what's coming. They want us off the internet and I think this is how they're going to get many people. They're going to just shutdown our Windows on the basis of us breaking their new terms of service. What if ISPs are next?
I'll be an outdoorsman and give up this digital faggotry before I use linux

You go do that then. I couldn't give a fuck less user.

no fuckin way. So one second i use my laptop to shitpost or just have pictures of uncle adolf on my comp and the next second they revoke my key entirely? How the fuck do they expect to maintain market share?

Also computerretard here, can i switch my OS to linux and keep all my files? How does such a thing work

Take a look at tails. tails.boum.org/ Caveat is that you can't use tails and microcock at the same time iirc. Upshot is you can get a taste of linux and not lose your m$ installation. Oh yeah, you'll need a bootable pendrive.

You can keep your files if you back them up onto a different drive or a USB or whatever you want. If you are thinking about switching and really don't know much about computers then make sure that any programs that you rely on either run on Linux or have an alternative before making the switch.
Jacob Bell
yes, it is almost as if there is some leftism virus. my guess is it is a modified version of toxoplasmosis.

You can keep all your files, just make sure you have a way to transfer them. If you dual boot you can see them on the drive from either OS, but if you wiped the whole disk and installed only linux you'd need a backup obviously.
Very first step would be to make a bootable flash drive just to see how it looks. Be warned that the performance will be absolute garbage this way though. Follow the directions here: community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/744
If you like that you can set up dual booting, which is a bit more complicated but will run properly. There are lots of tutorials online.

Depends if you care about "games" in general or specific games. There are plenty of games with native Linux versions, and many more that will work through Wine. You might not always get to play the latest AAA bullshit (at least until Wine updates to be compatible), but there's more than enough other stuff to piss away your life on if that's all you want.
I'm aware there are some games for Linux but I don't want to give up being able to pick up a new tittle to play with friends. I hope the new Atari console which is really just a Linux machine in a nice looking case does well and games for Linux gets a little bump. God knows the Steam console didn't deliver.

Yeah, fuck that meme hobby OS. After an arduous process of formatting and installing Arch on a VM, I can say with unabashed confidence that anybody seriously supporting Linux outside of computer science majors, software dev/engies etc etc is totally full of shit and being a pretentious faggot. Plus, literally NONE of the software I use, which is industry standard, is supported by Linux nor has an adequate replacement.
I've been using windows since NT and fulfills all my needs.
Gavin Davis
I don't think my windows was even valid from the get go
Microsoft gamertag rules are such trash. I had my GT as "More Effin Beer" for 2 straight years without a problem, then some loser reports me and I have to change it 3 times paying 30 bucks in total because "it's offensive".
Also, inb4 "hurr durr too dumb to figure out" or "you know nothing about computers."
Literally the only retort Linuxfags use.

What can I say? I wanted to get my hands dirty to see what the fuss is about. Was disappointing as fuck.
Observe, a butthurt Linuxfag defending his gay hobby OS which only the most melvin of melvins use. Even followed up with "KYS FAG." How adorable.
Cooper Ross
Such an angry leaf. Methinks you actually are a brainlet and are projecting. Keep using your "industry standard" software and make sure to keep much lube handy.

what the fuck did you expect by getting your hands dirty in an operating system that basically wants you to compile fucking everything locally user
Logan Edwards
the only butthurt fag is you, my "gay hobby OS" is actually the focus of my cushy, well-paid job. Sorry if linux is above your level. Stick to Windows, the OS of secretaries and salesmen. Oh, and fat-ass, bad-breathed pimply gamer fags like you.

Landon Long
Not only that, Xbox executives have also completely fallen for the feminist consultant memes about women, soyboys and ethnic minorities being their real core audiences. They seem to seriously think that they're losing players to PS4 and PC because they're not pandering to feminists and liberal numales enough.
>language on skype people use it as a phone service. good luck censoring that
Jordan Thompson
Just keygen your win 10 key back. If you legally paid for your copy you have every right legally and morally to steal it.
Also, we all knew microshill was going to start this shit. That's what win 10 is. A way to close in on the business model of Facebook and Google, by collecting user data to sell for advertisers and to the government alphabet letter agencies.
Win 7 has some updates you can remove to fix that, but doesn't matter if you have an Intel CPU. There's telemetry baked in at the hardware level to directly contact TCP/IP stack to send info to alphabet letter agencies no matter what OS you're in, even in Linux. If you have a Celeron, Pentium, i3, i5, i7 or i9 all your shit is/was owned by alphas, even before you made the terrible decision to go with Windows 10.

>You have an xbox and some games you buy from the xbox store. No I dont and wouldnt buy shit from a store that we never own, it even says your just renting it and they can take it away without refund anytime they want.
Supposedly the most secure OS of all. I've only ever used it as a webserver myself though. Still tinker from time to time but haven't gotten used to the 'doas' replacement for sudo.
>he doesn't have a Mac or Linux computer with a Windows 7 VM >unironically runs Windows 10 as his native OS OP, stop doing this. You're hurting yourself.
My final observation and then I'm outta here; gym in the morning before I head to the office - If you need a gaming PC-rig that much because a gaming-console can't satisfy then consider that maybe, just maybe, you take games a bit too seriously. Grow up. Stop playing in digital la-la land. Go outside and breath some fresh air. Maybe you'll even (God forbid) meet a girl for once. Oh, and ditch the Microshart already.

That's because you're a poorfag and have a shitty integrated sound card and you didn't set the buffer size appropriately. Bump that shit up if you're not doing pro-audio and the static goes away. Or get a better sound card.

I absolutely agree. I don't understand what they seek to achieve by stunting humanity with progressive non-progressiveness. Progresive iseals are ironically what is holding everything back.
Ethan Wright
>So I had to buy Windows 10 again
i really hope this is larp. Never saw anyone buying microshart products while they have the most cracked softwares on internet. I ran 3.11, 95, 98, 2000, millenium, XP, seven, 8 and 10 and and all the office packs etc and never i have thought giving this CIAnigger company a single shekel.
>But there is light at the end of the tunnel for filth and foul language lovers, as Microsoft noted that it "cannot monitor the entire Services and make no attempt to do so".

Please help me out Jow Forumsand! >inb4 lee redditt spacing
How soon until the terms of service for all ((private companies)) will prohibit using their products to communicate 'hate' ? Can Toyota prohibit you from driving their vehicles to church? What TOS will Fruit-of-the-loom invent? Where does this end?
