[A]n INI configuration file in the Windows Canary channel, discovered by German website Deskmodder, includes references to a “Subscription Edition,” “Subscription Type,” and a “subscription status.”
I went full Linux (at home - no choice a work) in 2007. It was painful, though way less painful than it was for the folks doing it in the mid-late 90s. (I took a shot and failed during that time.)
Literally each passing year since then, with what I see at work and in the news regarding Microsoft and Windows, has done nothing but deepen my conviction that it was the right move.
I’m years past trying to convince people who don’t care about the technical advantages, but I’m really disheartened to see how the telemetry and privacy concerns, and now the idea of software as a service, is not even a blip on most folks’ radar.
Most people don’t care about their privacy as long as they have something that works for them and doesn’t require a learning curve.
