Does anybody know if when using Windows on a computer but not paying for anything windows related: is windows/ Bill Gates profiting from it? Is it worth installing linux as a protest?

    In this day and age I’d recommend against pirating your OS. How can you be sure the hack you’re using is legit? And that MS won’t cut off your access to security updates in the future?

      Mine is not pirated, it’s paid for. I found it preferable to crack the licensing than log in with a Microsoft account. I also had your attitude based on experiences in my youth but these aren’t really the same.
