Most people pay for MS software, yes, fixes are free (if MS chooses to fix)
And, the license has many restrictions, such as it is illegal to sell your computer with the Windows it came with, it is only licensed to YOU. The next user technically has to pay for a new copy of Windows. The server licenses come with many restrictions on what yo can do, especially for the lower end server offerings. The new MS cluster software will have very heavy restrictions on what you can do. You also have to pay CALs after paying for the server OS.

Oh yea, and another guy claiming he has never had a virus problem and therefore Windows does not have viruses. So why all the anti-virus companies and all the patches???

What are you claiming again???
