I'll just use the pirated versions with the malware ripped off of it, thank you. Tiny11 is a beauty to run already.

Windows is nothing but a nightmare. It's privacy invasive, uses too much resources, breaks 24 7, has a boring UI, limited customization, more susceptible to viruses than any other OS, etc...
People should just switch over to Linux IMO.

Look at reactOS for a redo of golden-age windows.
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.

Microsoft would be as stupid as your typical League of Legends player for going down that route. Doing this would be an own-goal and would give Linux market share instantly.
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.
They would probably shut it down after 2 years. Sooner if it was any good.
