Buying a new computer automatically gave me Windows 10. While it's great, I find it idiotic to force it upon everyone else.

What do they even get from doing that?

A platform to mine data, push ads at the OS level, and make more money. They can't do that if you are using Windows 7. Windows 10 is anything but "free".

Not to mention their walled garden plans for the PC gaming space.  They basically want to turn Windows (and by extension most of the PC space) into the MS equivalent to Apple's space, where everything goes through them and they get a cut.  Windows 10 is part of that push and forcing it on to systems is their sleezy way of pushing that agenda.  And frankly, screw that.
