People using Macs, or installing Linux on Windows PCs, and emulating Windows via a compatibility layer.

Android... no idea. Google's about to lock it down like iOS, but there are no Android apps I would want to pirate. I own the few good ones I care about, like Nova Prime and Poweramp. I don't much care about phone games. Anything that's available as a subscription, you can almost always find an app you just need to pay for once, but the App Store and Play Store won't promote them because they want their cut.

As far as Windows itself goes... I don't really care. I imagine I'll be using it at work for some time. At home, I just use a Mac, so I miss most of the bullshit. And a lot of the Windows bullshit is tied to having a personal Microslop account attached to Windows — the corporate one I use for Microslop 365 doesn't "cut it". And I'm fine with that, with Copilot not working, etc.
