He used the Home version?

He owned his own island, he could at least go for Professional!

I remember Windows 7's editions being a complete mess, but a come on!

Either ask your IT guy or your friend Billy G, both will laugh at you for picking a Home version when you have the money to go pro.

What a fucking loser.

    Funny enough I got 7 ultimate for free by having a Microsoft themed Tupperware party and using their party invite platform. They sent me a box with free copy and ms colored streamers and windows 7 napkins. I still have the napkins new and sealed. Had to take like 4 pictures with my friends around a laptop I think. Not a bad trade for the best version of 7. I don’t think they’d ever get people to do the same for the newer OS’s. 7 was one of the good ones

    Just sayin, if you host a Linux install party you can get a copy of most Linux distributions for free. You can also get it for free if you don't host a Linux install party, but that's minor details.

    7 was the first and last version of Windows that I didn't immediately despise.

    For me I think I enjoyed 98, XP, 7 it was nearly Star Trek rules every other edition was ok. 7 was the culmination of the best of. But absolute shit ever since. Honestly wish I could just go back to 7 for anything that requires windows( I try to stay away from it whenever possible)

    I got a copy of Vista Ultimate from a friend who worked for Microsoft. Upgraded that baby to 7 Ultimate the instant I could and rode that product code for over a decade, until last year when I installed Linux on everything.

    Actually, I think I might still be using that product code on my Windows VM. Hmm.

    The number of other people laughing at actually paying for Windows is not zero.

    Aside, did you type "looser" ironically? 😅😶

    Eh, back in the Windows 7 days paying for Windows wasn't that bad of a deal, but starting with Windows 10 it felt as if you were paying to get ads.

    As for your last part, I am not a native english speaker, and my phone has two dictionaries, sometimes it picks the Swedish dictionary, sometimes it picks the English.

    I have been in situations where the dictionary marks a word as being wrong and offers a suggestion, when I then pick the suggestion, that word is also marked as being wrong, and the original word is offered as a solution.

    This can be rather annoying, and means that sometimes stuff like this slips through.
