Now if I could pay $15/year to keep Windows running ....
I would be happy and MS would have a "steady" yearly cash stream. Unfortunately, the current setup is, "pay me now, enjoy later (maybe)".
With the pay me now scheme, there is no incentive to keep me happy once I am scalped. The only option is to wait for the next "pay me now" cycle.
