I don't know how I'm going to get around this, I suppose I can image my Win 10 license and just run that machine into the ground or switch to Linux but this is a bad idea for the consumer.
I don't *want* a goddamn electronic etch-a-sketch I rent from someone else. I want something I have control over. While I do own an iPad and Kindle, and I do think they have their place, I don't think that for a power user you can get by with just that type of device. And I'd rather not see the traditional desktop go away. What do you all think?
