Technically you could get Windows 11 Home for $17.99, but since you're already saving more than $120 off the retail version of the operating system, why not throw a couple more dollars in and get extras like Microsoft Remote Desktop, BitLocker, and Hyper-V and virtual machine support?
Woot is an official subsidy of Amazon and is selling the codes directly, so you know this is a legit deal. Weirdly it might take a couple of days to get the email with your Microsoft redemption code, though.
Don't worry: if you have a PC building project that needs Windows right away, you can download the installation media from Microsoft, install the OS now, and redeem the code later. Unlike some of Woot's other sales, this isn't limited to one day — the page says you have two weeks or until the stock runs out.

The European Union doesn't think you should have to choose between giving Meta and other major players your data or your money. In a statement, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) stated that "consent or pay" models often don't "comply with the requirements for valid consent" when a person must choose between providing their data for behavioral advertising purposes or pay for privacy.
The EDPB argues that only offering a paid alternative to data collection shouldn't be the default for large online platforms. It doesn't issue a mandate but stresses that these platforms should "give significant consideration" to providing a free option that doesn't involve data processing (or at least not as much). "Controllers should take care at all times to avoid transforming the fundamental right to data protection into a feature that individuals have to pay to enjoy," EDPB Chair Anu Talus said. "Individuals should be made fully aware of the value and the consequences of their choices."
Currently, EU users must pay €10 ($11) monthly for an ad-free subscription or be forced to share their data. The EU is already investigating if this system complies with the Digital Markets Act, which went into effect at the beginning of March.
