BWAHAHAHA!
Okay, here's how Windows users are going to get bent over next. When you buy a PC, it's going to come with Vista Crip, guaranteed. Otherwise the OEM's are going to have to pass the additional cost on to buyers. To keep advertising low prices, they'll have to offer Cripware OS. And they will.

So the first thing you'll get to do with that new PC is go to the MSFT site and figure out which upgrade version you want to purchase. Or you get to limp along on Vista Crip, which won't do much of anything. Oh, you want network connectivity? You have to upgrade to Vista Less Crip for that. DirectX? Upgrade. It's like the car dealership selling you a car one piece at a time. Oh, you want a steering wheel, that's extra.

Then you can buy your office productivity software, then buy an anti-virus subscription, which MSFT will probably give you free for three months with your Vista Crip update. Which will make it convenient to buy their anti-virus product, which will only allow adware from trusted MSFT partners.

So you MSFT users get to pay and pay and pay before you even start working. ROFL! It's so funny to watch. I should buy stock in the company that makes Vaseline, because when Vista comes out I think sales will really take off!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
