My laptop hard drive went out a few months ago and when I went to replace it I couldn’t read the stupid verification code! My desktop is a home build with XP installed.
So I needed a new OS for both and from what I can gather, I would have to buy TWO licenses to upgrade both computers.
Well, I decided to try Ubuntu 13.10. It’s far more user friendly then I thought it would be and it allows me to do everything I need to do on a computer! Did I mention it was free?
I refuse to buy two licenses for my two home computers at a cost of $220+ dollars. To heck with Windows. They want to regulate and price themselves out of business....fine with me.
“I couldn’t read the stupid verification code!”
I recently installed a 2012 server and thought I was going to need a microscope to read that license code. I was about ready to shift to an ubuntu option right then and there.
Linux Mint is another to try.
