And PC without OS are a lot cheaper (with Win +~€100, with Linux, if you don't do it yourself + some € for the CD and the service)

Monopolies have the tendency to abuse. I only hope that one day it is possible to ban surveillance techniques, this would be the only way to rip the teeth out of these molochs, because this is the real underlying problem of all this, lot of resources to profile and track the users. Privacy is a human right and violated by these companies. You buy a PC with a lot of money, with Wndows, because other soft companies and neded drivers and codecs only are for this OS and you see that with all the money you have spent, the OS isn't yours and above they say what you can do and what not Or you spent days in the guts of this OS, to get rid of all this crap and trash "to improve the user experience", at the risk of breaking it, to get what it should be, an OS without more, that works as it should.
