I think most folks are familiar with my steadfast refusal to use any version of Windows beyond Windows 7. The reason for that is that EVERY version of Windows beyond Windows 7gives de facto ownership and control of my computer, bought with MY money, to Microsoft, who pays me nothing for it's use (since they own it if it runs one of those OS's), and they then have the temerity to charge me for the shackles to enslave me - i.e. any Windows OS beyond Windows 7. ALL of them, in addition to wresting control of YOUR computer from YOU, who paid for it, also have spyware built-in to the operating system.
And on top of all that, there is NO way to turn off the spyware or regain ownership of your own computer if you are using one of them.
Now Microsoft is even requiring that thief module on your motherboard to be activated if you run one of those late-model Windows systems, so that you can't even remove the OS and install a better one.
So for all those reasons, I will not, ever, use any Windows operating system beyond Windows 7.
It's the same for this madness. If the Feds want to own, control, and operate my car like that, then I don't need one of those machines. They're not going to wrest control of MY car from me unless THEY are paying for it, for the upkeep of it, and for the gas to operate it.
So, I just won't buy any vehicles made after the theft cutoff date, just like I don't buy computers with theivin' operating systems on them.
