You meant to say, "Would you use Windows if it WERE free?"

Take care.

I would take advantage of Windows being free when I build my desktop. However I wouldn't switch over from OS X on my laptop.

Up until Windows 10, I'm sure most people pirated Windows. So it's always been free technically.

>>51427614
no
>>51428838
no

>>51427614
I already use Windows.

I would certainly use it in a VM if it was Free as in FREEDOM and possibly contribute to its source code.

"were" here is the correct written form but it's fine to say "was" in speech.

>>51428838
He's referring to Windows the operating system, which is singular. Therefore "was" is correct.

no "was" is wrong for both singular and plural

Free as in "free speech" or as in "free beer"?

>>51428838
Actually, since Windows is a singular product, was is correct.
