          @renovatedkitchen They literally gave it away, because Microsoft's market strategy is based on having computers tun on windows, not selling windows.

            @nerthos I could see it also make people go to use their windows phones more because of the integration

          @renovatedkitchen I don't remember, think it was a loophole with some sort of media center thing. It basically validated a pirated 8 copy for you.

            @redenchilada I dunno. That does sound like a lot of effort. I almost gave up doing this one

                @redenchilada Ah. Too bad. Windows 8 is pretty good once you get used to it

                    @redenchilada Change with OS's is one of the few kinds of changes I like. I like to see their ideas

        @nerthos I find it hard to buy a computer without windows installed, unless I am building one, but than I am not buying, I am building.

      @widget Buy with linux, or build it yourself. Or just don't go to a big important store, instead buy from some dude in the neighborhood, which is usually better in terms of price and service.
