Why l would pay 30$ to dumpester fire OS to use it securely for another year when l could install Linux for free with more than 7 year security?

And consumers can only pay for single year.

It just shows how M$ doesn't care about their costumers treating them like lab rats.

I switched to Linux myself but can we please stop lying about Linux being a drop-in replacement? There is enough sofware that does not work.

Absolutely. Especially software that has to interface with specific hardware, which often times can have issues working properly with Windows VMs.

I can just dedicate some old hardware for baremetal Win10, but not everyone has that luxury.
