    There are free OS alternatives out there (which I suspect you already use but just want to poop on other’s parade).

    I assume that if someone’s already using Windows, a paid OS, they are willing to pay $2 to make it usable.

      I prefer if persistent, high-permission code running on my machine is FOSS, and support the devs if I see it’s useful

        I prefer it too, but if something works well and saves me time and effort for $2, I don’t make a big deal out of it. I also need to accomplish things other than monkeying around with my computer.

        Almost everyone pays for Windows. Notice how computers that let you not include it in the order get cheaper.
