nope, my dad got pc from work with cd to install win (for free)
That CD was paid for, Windows is not free.
Yes, by company not me, so for me its free
Also
I didnât say its free, i said i got it free.
All osâs have their ups and downs⌠now, lets maybe get back on topic? letâs not continue with the os argument that recently got locked
Typical Linux user, thinks they are better than everyone because they downloaded a free OS online.
Windows CDâs are not 150 dollars, donât know where you heard that from.
Also, the reason Linux doesnât get viruses, not because a virus canât get through it, because they easily can, itâs because itâs so easy to remove them on Linux, just do a reset, and youâre good. Virus developers donât develop virus for them, because itâs useless to them, the person will just remove it and go on like nothing happen, so they donât benefit from it.
Yeah, come back with some real facts, and try to sound better than others.
If you find a reason why you should use money on an operating system rather than download a free one which works just as well, go ahead.
Support. The main reason anyone will get Windows over anything else. With Windows, you have a 100% support. Everyone supports Windows, because they are the main OS, with the largest user base.
But yeah, have fun with your free OS, that supports very little compared to Windows. Have fun with your âgenericâ versions of programs that are on Windows.
all right it just gone too far. Please stop discuting about os and go back to discusion about viruses and antivirus. @Charlie please move all posts about os to other topic.
About the antivirus, is it any good?
Ever since I got Windows 8.1, and seen how good Windows Defender is, I havenât really had a reason to get a antivirus.
Gonna stop, but Windows Defender is an antivirus.
Well, iâm using Win7 and NOD32 seems so more effective than Avast!. Mostly cause Nod32 have things than in Avast! are only for premium users.
Yes, but excluding Win8 version it mostly sucked.
windows smart screen is over sensitive⌠( it isnât exactly a anti-virus, but apparently because it is a un-recognised publisher, it shouldnât be ranâŚ
@Killertoad there is only a free 1 month trial
