You can get a fully working Windows key for well under $50.
I know, I had to get one for my kids.
So maybe some are just buying a legal copy at a price that Framework aren't allowed tonsell at.
That said, if one isn't stuck in a very Microsoft-centric organization or isn't playing certain Windows-only games, which developer honestly want Windows now that even power management (suspend/resume) seems to work better under Linux?
