>Did you listen to anything Microsoft said about WIn8? And why do you think upgrades were $40?
I thought the upgrade at $40 was a good idea - which they rolled back to $100 +. So as Win 8 became more familiar as new boxes were sold with it, current Win7 users who might have been expected to consider upgrading would become less likely to do so as the price became steeper, and those early adopters who just couldn't wait to upgrade for whatever reason and would have paid $100 got it for $40.
I think MS is greatly in need of adult supervision.

>>Huh? OS upgrades and Windows upgrades have funded Microsoft for 15 or 20 years now. For a guy who talks like he sits across a desk from Steve Ballmer you sound surprisingly clueless sometimes.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
