... if they wanted that, they could do it by now for all windows.
And how will they recognize pirate software from illegal software its usually just Cd Key...? You think police will come into your home and search your computer or something?
And you think that companies like lets say blizzard will sign contract with microsoft to send them information about all illegal activity on their OS in exchange for money ^^?
Bunch of stupid things people said just so you don't install windows 10 cause they used your computer information in alpha stage to perfect their OS. I will probably buy cd key of reddit, right now I installed it, and its not activated, and only thing i can't do is change background...
booting up into windows takes around 10-15 sec, on 7 it was like 1 minute, and memory, cpu and gpu usage are so good!
I you don't want anything to do with microsoft then install Linux distribution and problem solved
