In EU at least you can almost get free as in beer Windows, you can buy a fully legal 2nd hand (resold) Windows license for about $10, the price of a fancy beer.

Isn't Windows also basically free? Every laptop I buy has a Windows licence stuck to the bottom of it.

No and you missed the "freedom" part of the adage.

No, you've been charged for every one of those licenses.

which means you paid for it. just because it comes bundled doesn't mean always it's free. https://en.refund4freedom.org/

You can also just pirate it.

Windows is already free for ~everyone. Make less idiotic arguments.
