We don’t talk about Ubuntu here. He’s the black sheep of the family.

That doesn’t withhold any features though. That’s just for supporting Ubuntu teams work with extra security patches. You can also get it for free for 5 machines.

Neither does Windows these days. You get the annoying message in the bottom right, but that’s not hard to get rid of with a few tweaks.

Ahh, last time I used a non activated install I thought there were admin and personalization resections, but I guess those can be worked around by now.

I think Microsoft saw how pointless their efforts were and dropped it. I think they may still lock your desktop background?

It’s so easy to set up vlmcsd that I don’t even leave temporary virtual machine unregistered, but last time I used a pirated copy on another person’s laptop I had no idea until I noticed the text in the bottom right. Even stuff like backgrounds are easy to change by just downloading third party background software, like back in the good ol’ Windows 7 days.

If Microsoft are worried about Linux now, imagine what they’ll feel once it activates!
