I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

I do not see myself forced to use Windows at home because I really am not. I can use alternative software, not play games with anticheat rootkits and pirate DRM media. I agree that there are tradeoffs, but I am under no threat of losing the roof over my head, so I think it to be very much feasible. Though the point of my comment was to point out (pun intended) that separating work and personal computing is actually a good thing for many reasons, one of which that you can probably use Linux.
