      There are other ways, if you have to use it but don’t want to give Microsoft money. One way is just not to activate it. Almost everything still works. There are also ways to get cheap keys or activate it for free.

      A better way is not to use Windows, but not everyone can avoid it all the time.

        All good advice! I was mostly commenting on the price of it being absurd, I haven’t purchased a copy since XP possibly back in the day.
