I present a third contender: Ignoring the watermark in the corner.

Doesn't windows eventually shut down every hour when you don't activate it? Or is that just their shitty development VM that does that so I have to reinstall it every 30 days?

i think the only things these days for 'unactivated windows' (home, pro editions) is inability to 'customize the desktop' (change wallpaper, theme...) and occasional activation nags.

it doesn't quit working or shutdown (iirc enterprise or server trials do that after they expire, though) or quit getting updates or anything like that.
