Thread: M$ have turned into Apple

I bought the oldest lad a new laptop. It came 'pre-installed' with Linpus Linux, but it basically only to give boot options.

Now that manufacturers are embracing UEFI instead of good old fashioned BIOS it means M$ can lock users in to using Win 8. Wankers.

So, instead of simply putting a working version of Win 7 on it, I have to fuck about DLing the right version of Win 8 (RTM) and then crack it using a KMS Activator (which the lad being a dickhead will undoubtedly delete or allow the anti-virus software to kill it 5 mins after getting his hands on it).

I'm not paying over 5k for a kosher version.
