Although I dislike systemd, I'll take it over Microsoft's activation hell,
which I am currently embroiled in on a friend's computer that needed to
be reloaded. MS's promise that the Windows 10 "digital license" would be
honored if the OS needed to be reinstalled turns out to be just another
Big Lie.

If you've ever used Office 365 you'll see a good license routine. If
they could do that with Windows they'd have a winner. Adobe has a method
where if you install their suite and you already have it activated
elsewhere, you can tell the current install to de-activate older installs
and have the newer take the place of the older.

It's evolving for the better but the pace of this evolution is slow. A
huge advantage for Linux is you're free to install it and distribute it.
A corporate dream come true.
