Gee, I thought we were all just going to be beta testers.

This is a rumour I heard from someone reasonably reliable: they are trying to get people to pay monthly subscriptions just for having windows, and are offering it for free to reel people in. He also mentioned the data collection stuff as noted above.

What am I going to do the five times a year I use windows??! I'm doooomed!

But seriously, I just had to buy office because the publisher wants certain things in that format, so it is kinda important. Also, many streaming video services don't work on linux. I was tempted to update for those purposes...

That is fairly easily done. I did it in 10 minutes or less. If that's all there is then it's not much to worry about. I suspect that's not all, though. Thanks for the heads up.

Even my brother knew about this. I just asked him whether he upgraded. He said I couldn't get my old licensed version back though. Is that true? Do I have to buy it again or pirate it? Is it worth it to do even that? What OS should I change to, if not?
