     Micr0$0ft is interested ONLY in their bottom line, and feel they have the   
   RIGHT to tell you what OS and browser you should run...and refuse to accept   
   the fact that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".   
      
     You know it angers them no end that folks are running OS's like MacIntosh   
   (Apple) and Linux, using browsers like Google Chrome and Firefox rather than   
   Internet Explorer (or whatever the deal is now in Windows 10), and using   
   search engines such as Google Chrome rather than Bing.   
      
     Besides, not everyone is loaded with money. I myself am disabled, and on a   
   fixed income, dealing with medical bills for surgeries, procedures, etc. right   
   now. So, I don't have extra money to throw around.   
      
     In that regard, Comcast Cable called today with a telemarketer having a   
   heavy foreign accent, trying to get me to take advantage of a new special,   
   which would cost me more. I finally told him "I guess you don't understand   
   English. I said I can't afford to upgrade my cable service, and may have to   
   reduce what I have soon, due to medical bills...good day", and hung up on him.   
      
     Believe me, if I wanted to upgrade, and could afford to, I would. That   
   applies to OS's, cable TV setups, etc. Also, when I purchased my copy of   
   Windows 7 32-bit from Amazon, I likely got it much cheaper than what Microsoft   
   originally sold it for...I think I paid around $70, with shipping.   
      
     And, I've never been one to download the OS when it first came out...the   
   bugs still with it made it have more holes in it than a pair of old   
   underwear...and it stinks about as much. :P
