  A bitch to remember compared to the bypassnro though.

    You know, if you copied those three lines into a text file, then saved it as bypassnro.cmd, you’ll have solved that problem.

  Its not a big deal the same way cancelling adobe subscription is not a big deal.

    I have to have Windows, a VM at least, for reasons.

    A nameless install, decrapified with [Chris Titus’ decrapifier, installer and streamliner script]((christitus.com/windows-tool/) is actually decent

    I mean, not really. You had to open command prompt anyways. The command is just a bit different now. There’s no monetary penalty here, just a few more keystrokes.

      Its shity corpo behavior to force users generate more profits for shareholders. It is no benefit to anyone but ms.

    if someone says linux is hard to learn, that person isn’t making regestry edits.

    That said, windows used to be intuitive, but they peaked with xp and it’s been a downhill slide since.

      It’s also incredibly inconsistent, at least now that they’re pushing more and more towards powershell.

      What, as a delimiter? Even some FOSS software uses spaces.

  So you’re telling me 2% of new Window’s users won’t be forced to make an account? Neat!

  This is not about the technically savvy. The populace is being conditioned into not owning what they purchase. This will in turn make everyone’s life worse.

    Ultimately this change, while frustrating, probably doesn’t change the initial value for those who fit these two categories:

    • Needs Windows
    • Cares about their privacy

    These people were already going to go out of their way to use the OOBE bypass. They still will. This is no more effort thanbit already was.

    Microsoft crossed the line already by disallowing offline account creation through their default setup process.
