    Fuck it. Force them from release date. There’s no reason for them to dictate what you can and cannot run on the hardware you purchase. If they can’t compete by providing a better OS or software, and must rely on anti-competitive models to profit, then they don’t deserve to waste the planets resources.

        You start high and negotiate down. If you start low, you’ll get even less

            Nah, you’re a good person. But there’s lots of bad faith people out there. You have to defend yourself against them
