OMG.

If it's possible for you to just install Linux only (no Windows/Micros**t at all), please do that.

Or, get a Mac if Linux-exclusive doesn't work for you.

(I love both Mac and Linux).

Like other abusive software, if I need to use windows, I use it in a sandbox (a VM in this case) or in its own dedicated device.

Life it too short to deal with malicious vendors.
