Wait. They want me to pay for something I already paid for?

Well guess my $2.5k new windowless machine is looking better everyday.

You actually paid for Windows?

Oh yeah. Windows XP Professional 64 bit. Each "upgrade" used the same license and never really got screwy until 10. Won't go to 11.

Edit: Actually I don't think I even paid for that, I think it was an OEM license my dad got from his work.

You know what's shocking? I did. I ruined my desktop trying to set it up with some web server functions and wiping it somehow got rid of the license.

And so I paid to get rid of the watermark.. boo!

There you go one last scary story for the season.
