"YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BUY OR INSTALL IT - Period."
Those words should live in Infamy. INFAMY!
You now have NO OPTION but to choose "Agree" if you want ANY MAJOR OEM system TO EVEN BOOT - PERIOD! They don't even let you have the chance to install a different system, access the UEFI Firmware, boot from USB devices--or even a swapped-out hard drive--or pretty much ANYTHING else until AFTER--you got it--A*F*T*E*R you agree to their usurious licenseS, plural--one for Microsoft and one for the OEM. Otherwise you own a GIANT, VERY EXPENSIVE PAPERWEIGHT.
Call me pastoral, backwards, ignorant--I don't care--but something about this seems very, very, VERY wrong in so many ways. Ethically, legally, democratically--and especially ergonomically, this arrangement is abhorrently perverse.
I want my interrupt keys back. Or similar--something I can do BEFORE the OS loader gets involved.
