    Why bother pirating a version of windows that’s missing features when you can just install Linux or BSD for free?

      Probably because of Windows exclusive software. When an art student friend asked me to install Linux on her laptop I told her she shouldn’t go for it because she’ll have a massive headache as soon as her teacher asks her to install photoshop. Don’t get me wrong I love Linux and the BSDs, but there are certain use cases where they’re not the right choice.
