When I started using Linux about 10 years ago, whenever I bought a new computer, I would keep a partition for Windows just in case for dual boot... Nowadays I just wipe it all clean.
It's weird to think I'm still paying for the Windows license because I like to buy from a physical store and they don't have alternatives.
Microsoft has become a bit like Oracle... You don't need what they make anymore but you have to keep paying for it. It's like the company has entered into retirement and society is still supporting it... But the difference is it never dies of old age to make room for new generations of companies.
