Linux or Windows.

Does anybody know if when using Windows on a computer but not paying for anything windows related: is windows/ Bill Gates profiting from it? Is it worth installing linux as a protest?

If you're using Windows, you've paid for it one way or another.
- True. It came pre installed on my PC I bought 4 years ago. But yeah, you're correct. This is the reason to why I was questioning the decision to install Linux. But I think I will install Linux anyway.
  
  That's great! It requires a bit of research and adjustment but it's well worth it.
- Nah there's easyyyy bypasses. Takes more time to figure out which ones are legit than it does to unlock.
  
  In this day and age I'd recommend against pirating your OS. How can you be sure the hack you're using is legit? And that MS won't cut off your access to security updates in the future?
