Ah yes, there isn't even an option to permanently disable this popup, only remind me later. When the operating system is the nag ware. `

Those "remind me later" options should be illegal

Then again, just install Linux already and you don't ever have to deal with any of this shit.

Yknow sometimes it'll cross my mind that this is a farce, that really it can't be that bad. But then I remember the backlash when windows 7 started doing online checks, and why I switched my computer before 11 was released. And I try to remember the last time my PC annoyed the shit out of me.. yeah since I had windows.
