^ Not enough people are angry about this! I have a permanent watermark on my desktop because I use an edid override for my projector and hobbyist drivers for niche video game controllers. It sucks.

the reason is vendors. in the XP era, OEMs would write crappy drivers, which made Windows unstable or erratic. WHQL was established to ensure quality control, but vendors could simply disable signing if they couldn't be bothered to make their drivers up to code. the watermark was added to prevent such unscrupulous behavior.

I don't use Windows myself, but I have to develop for it, and hit this problems even when everything I develop is open source.

Some people need money to sustain their families. As a prostitute you can choose your clients but this might lead to lower income. ( yes, i do think that me, having to use Microsoft software is prostitution, but i didn't had any employer which gave me a chance to install linux).
