I am going to eventually use Linux (although need help with a good option for gaming and video library use), but I was curious how long I could use Windows unregistered for? What are the limitations of it not registered?

      They probably prefer consumers running pirated Windows over consumers running Linux. As long as most people are more familiar/comfortable with using Windows than Linux, the more likely companies are to not even look at alternatives.

      This basically just keeps companies from using unlicensed Windows

      You say this but my local boba tea place their touch screen order thingie has Windows’ unlicensed watermark over it but I think even their customers are too Dutch to care (me included, I actually love them for it!)
