What relationship? Customers are abused & "easy to use" means "dumbing down

We're both walking wallets AND toilets, at the same time.

Walking wallets fo the ridiculous cost and proprietary lock-in nature of the products; never mind compatibility between OS releases and 3rd party programs, predatory OEM licencsing and a slew of other nasty issues that makes this company look very Un-Christian indeed.

We're also toilets because the quality of their products is tantamount to taking a leak on us every time we lift the lid off our wallets for those upgrades we're told we simply have to have (even if they do lock up in Gates' face at a large public showing; I've been to 2 and both times a hyped up component of the OS caused a crash; in front of thousands of people. :rolleyes: This is a company that has survived?! What sort of parallel universe did I land in anyway? Even every piece of beta grade software I've tested is more stable than any Windows operating system...)

MS needs to FIX THEIR SOFTWARE at core level and then and only then work on new features, DRM, Fascist-Central, and any other new toy they wish to develop.

Also, I've seen a pattern and it's not just a Microsoft thing: "Easy to use" equates to "Dumbing down" the user and in this day and age of upcoming societal crises (mostly energy based) one would think we'd need as much brain power as possible... But I digress. As with so many other ways our "society" wants to turn thinking people into mindless sheep, Windows makes its ease of use comple people to forget how much of a resource hog it is, how slow it is, how buggy it is, how Windows Media Player sends personal info right back to Microsoft, how product activation does nothing to resolve the problem it was created for (look at piracy rates in India and China then tell me the pirated software they use (which accounts for up to 90% of ALL the software they use) was made BEFORE late-2001 when Windows XP came out; the very product that introduced product activation that every other company since then has also implemented...

As for monthly subscription, I won't go there... Not today.
