On: Microsoft has removed the “use offline account” option when installing Windows

[cycloptic]

I'm not trying to diminish your situation, but it seems a bit hyperbolic to suggest that anyone is forced to use Windows. If you really are being physically forced to do so against your will, that seems like even more reason to avoid them as much as possible.

The standard for “being forced” doesn’t have to be “gun to the head.” It can also be “is unemployed”

I'm confused, is this not a website for hackers and entrepreneurs whose response to unemployment is starting your own business? Or am I in the wrong place?

[jodrellblank → cycloptic]

a) the way you say "hackers and entrepreneurs" as two separate groups, suggests they are two separate groups.

b) if true as claimed, why would such people as you imagine being here ever experience "unemployment" in the first place?

I get that there are plenty of "job-hoppers" here. I wish they would start more businesses instead.
