| Wait! They give me frustration for free!
(MS Patches, Security fixes, hot patches, Vista drivers,...)
But yes, I would be paying M$ $50/yr for LIVE account on Xbox. And so today, having received my 3rd and final RRoD unit back, which BTW sounds like a vacuum cleaner, I cancelled my subscription and gaming on the 360.
Microsoft, I will not be stressed by your crappy hardware again. |

1 edit | If you paid $50 a yr for XBL then you overpaid. The 12+1 cards can be found online for less than $35. |

said by wruckman  :Microsoft gives nothing for free. Maybe you didn't read the article. The whole point of the BBR news item was that they DO give away "for free" all the things they are also charging for. So I guess you are WRONG!

I have over $100,000 in software MS has given me............ mostly for not joining in with all you proverbial whiners. |

Re: Micro$oft
You are full of it. First off, I do not live parents as I am a 30 year old network administrator with my own family. Second, I would NEVER by a iphone. Microsoft gives nothing for free. Why do you think hee is one of the wealthiest people on the face of the planet? Why do you think they sue everyone in site? Because they want their money. And they try to put other businesses out of business by buying patents and then trying to sue everyone for infindgement. They place spyware inside your operating system. They place hidden DOD encryption keys so they can easily break your encrption. They place DRM on everything. FOR MONEY! They are crooks in every sense of the word. I use linux.

1 edit | I got free copies of Vista Business, Office 2007, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, Microsoft SQL Server 2005, Microsoft Expressions.
I sold most of them on ebay.
All cost me nothing, just creating accounts (that require nothing beyond a valid email or mailing address) on microsoft promotion or sponsored sites.

Northwood, OH | And you just had your information sold to third parties as well. Cost you nothing? Everything has a cost. You have to look beyond your simplistic understanding of currency. |

Simplistic understanding of currency???
OK, Professor.
