I would happily subscribe to an operating system for a fair price, as long as it's stable, compatible, has timely security updates and - and I highly doubt MS will do this one - without any bloat-, nag- or crapware. Make your default browser a browser, not a spying shopping coupon Bing AI mess. Let me choose the search engine the start menu uses (or use none at all), stop telling me to sign into OneDrive every chance you get, fuck off with your widgets, etc.

If I pay, you have no business trying to fuck me over, Microsoft.

As much as I'd like a Linux rise from this, I think it's not unlikely Google will make a desktop OS (not the half done chrome OS.
