   Subject: Proposal to Keep WinXP Support "Alive"

   How much does a multi touch screen for a desktop system cost?   
      
   If I'm going to buy W8 to run on one of my machines,   
   will any of the free third party DVD players run   
   on the basic version of W8?   
      
   What's added to the "Professional" version of W8?   
      
   Is there an Ultimate version of W8?   
      
   Is that compatability stuff to run old software   
   built into all versions of W8, or only certain versions?   
      
   I can't even buy a "clean boot" RETAIL version of W8   
   where the license is transferrable?   
      
   Microsoft actually has service centers where for $99   
   they will remove crapware and make you   
   a clean boot of W8?   
      
   When does Microsoft plan to pull the plug   
   on W7 and stop the SECURITY UPDATES   
   just to force those users to buy Windows 9?   
      
   Has it occurred to anybody that this model   
   where each Microsoft OS has really bad   
   SECURITY FLAWS actually benefits Microsoft?   
      
   What would happen to user DEPENDENCY   
   on Microsoft if they made a version of Windows   
   WITHOUT huge security flaws, without the   
   need for 200+ SECURITY UPDATES?   
      
   Aren't we all just like JUNKIES hooked and   
   dependent on Microsoft for SECURITY UPDATES?
