Neuromancer is a pretentious pile of wank that people only like because they read it when they were 15.

I remember when EK was just Edvard König selling stuff on XtremeSystems.org

Granted, my interest in overclocking and cooling peaked in the mid noughties, but I had no idea EK had gotten this big.

I'm messing with your username, op, but I'm 100% sure that whatever you'd ask it, the answer would be to switch to Linux.

I don't know what you're up to, but I ain't shitting on the Bethesda games, that's on you.

Put it down to age. I'm sure not a lot of people who jumped in at Fallout 4 bothered to go all the way back to the beginning, but I gotta say, nothing says "PC gamer forum" like lumping every age group together and calling something dead just because you didn't dig it.

By the looks of this thread, we're a lot of nobodys.

You know what the real threat to human dignity is? Not respecting other peoples choices.

That's not what this post is about.

I understand, and agree, with the sentiment that more people should switch to Linux, but please don't pretend the answer to every topic regarding Microsoft or Windows is "just switch to Linux". It is for some, but it derails and invalidates a necessary conversation about shitty behaviour by Microsoft.

I have a machine running linux at home, I'm not afraid of a package manager, but Linux is not the answer to everything. Not yet at lesst.

I can't refuse to use windows at work, and much as i would sometimes like to, I can't just go and quit over what OS our computers run. That would end poorly for my livelihood and family.

The purpose of this article is to highlight unfair behaviour by Microsoft, especially towards businesses, which is a topic that needs more attention. Microsoft is in every level of infrastructure in almost every big corporation, and no matter how attractive linux is, that doesn't make the dangers of centralised IT belonging to one company any less relevant.

We should all do more to lobby for more companies and corporations switching to Linux, but replying with "just switch to Linux smh" is not pushing that agenda.
