    Start’s off with “Windoes used to mean freedom”. Yep I noped out. This person doesn’t know what the fuck they’re talking about.

      Context is important. And freedom is not binary.

                I did. Did you not select-hover the alternate text I made? The hyperlink is a bonus.
                Unless you’re trying to gaslight Microsoft’s business model wasn’t Product keys.

                  I’ve no idea how to do that.

                  I still have no idea what your point is…

      .ml and immediately running from an opinion that slightly differs from their’s, with pseudo-intellectual elitism thrown in.

      Good meme

        The history of Microsoft creating backdoors in windows predates XP. While Windows XP is most certainly not as evil as Win10, it certainly never meant “freedom”. Nor did 95, NT or even 3.1. Other than the backdoors, windows has always been closed source. Nothing free about it.

        The fact that the youtube person assumed the opposite strongly affects her credibility. Windows backdoors have been a common topic since the 90’s.
