:Leathal, you are a marketers wet dream. Keep eating the crap that hardware/software manufacturers shove down your throat. Keep accpeting DRM management that kills performance and treats honest customers lke criminals.
Anyhow, The point is NO ONE should have to bend to MS's ridiculous rules for an OS that will likely cost over $200. To build one machine and have to be content with it for the duration of the OS life is moronic. For instance I'm a gaming enthusiast and I upgraded 6 times during XP's run. It sheep like yourself that keep purveyors of garbage computers like Dell and HP in business. If you're content with having your options narrowed down to what a small group of suits wants you to have then fine, but don't call people who don't whiners. It simply shows the degree of greed inherent in that company, a company that controls 90% of the worlds operating systems. If they released a base free version and sold extended versions and extended support gurantees they'd still make a fortune and not have to implement disgusting practices like DRM.
Wait and you think it costs Microsoft $0.50 to make Windows Vista? How about the millionaires that Microsoft will make this year who co-developed Vista, how about the millions Microsoft will pay some rock group to use their song with Vista's release? And the BILLIONS spent on advertising?
