because off the "free whatsapp plans" offered here in Brazil, the "call" feature was overtaking the "normal" call, which made mobile phone operators to sue WhatsApp (for something they started...)
* the sue made a judge block WhatsApp only for a day (because of popular rage, that made it back...)
really: I've seen a lot of people (not tech-savy ones) from universities with a recent update to Windows 10 leading to some "minor problems" (monstrous problems for the IT dept!)
The ones that aren't computer literate never changed the defaults anyway.
Others changed to him (a grandson/granddaughter, a neighbor, etc) and there's no one to change back after the upgrade... them, user share up (and profit)!
(haven't booted my Win 8.1 partition in at least a month)
In my home, there's no windows partitions (buyed some laptops for a sister with it, but wipe it and put a Linux distro intead was a no brainer... even with broken warranty, in some cases) ^^
some selection of applications (probably work related- for many others its games) that you just can't get anywhere else.
there's controversy all over this subject!
* there is WINE and virtualbox... (where I worked, on serpro.gov.br, users that "need" some windows software has VMware Player with windows in his machine - the use of a expensive licensed software here [VMware] was beneficial, I think: apparently, for management, windows user are very most costful for maintenance...)
Don't tell me to run Linux. I do run Linux. I also need my laptop for things Linux won't run.
... and let Windows FUCKING ACTIVE during the night? Where you are running linux, in a fucking VM? Have you considered the other way around (rum Windoze on a VM)?

WhatsApp is prety popular here, in Brasil, where various mobile phone operators offer "free WhatsApp plans"...
iOS is next? I don't think so...
in Brazil, by mobile phone operators: up to the app was blocked by a day, on Dec/2015 (but backing up almost immediately, after popular rage)
Man, I'm in love with you sig!
Insanity like this one makes the free x opensource software fight...
Can you provide links, dear AC?
Linux don't attends you just yet (there's no strong reason to a Mac build has no Linux build: it's a matter of time!)

I really like your sig ("Linux was not for everyone; then came Android."), man!
Try to not use "I'm not guilty for it!": everyone has a part on it!
start by developing more software web-based (making the user only have to use a browser, OS agnostic)
not a change by night-to-day, but a slow and steady one: support it always when you can :-)

Someone will say then: "China-like dictatorship!" :P

I largely agree with this
it's a real PITA! (but help users, when there's no pdf reader installed [like in public terminal, like in airports, and so on])
