An excerpt:
Everything in the Microsoft Store is pushed to trying to sell you expensive proprietary software, guides and other things.
I have no bugbear with proprietary software. But what is unforgivable are attempts to profit from free and open source software by ‘enterprising’ individuals. For example, a search of LibreOffice (an extremely popular open source office suite) brings up entries for LibreOffice Suite for £6.69, LibreOffice Vanilla for £8.39, LibreOffice for Windows for £4.19. But LibreOffice is free and open source software. Another example of this blatant profiteering is the entry for darktable labelled “DarkTable LightRoom”. It’s retailing in the Microsoft Store for £4.19, but again this is a complete rip-off. darktable is free and open source software and a Windows binary is available from the developers’ website: www.darktable.org.
