So sorry. I meant "mentally" disabled, not the kind that had various parts of their bodies chopped off/made inoperative by genetics/chemicals/sickness/violence. See ? I'm a nice guy. Now you are a nice politically correct good guy! |

AS/400s have a greater market share than linux desktops and apple desktops/laptops combined. It takes a couple more brain cells to use linux, but it also takes a lot more time. Apple products are for people too stupid and lazy to use real computers. |

Charging to rent it, that is, not to buy it. Good marketing ploy - just hopefully some of us aren't that dumb. -- Peter Fairbrother the real reason I use Linux and BSDs is because I can see the source and play with it. If windows was open-source (not necessarily free in any sense) I'd be interested in it. |

Except that there is no evidence at this point in time that they are going to charge for it after that first year. In fact, they've said the very opposite. It appears that the upgrade is not only free for any user of Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 who installs it in its first year of release but also that it will remain supported for as long as that device is used. -- Slimer Encrypt. |
