Now I know that you're the guy. Well, they are providing me with a service so in principle I have no objection to paying for this. That's not to say I object to receiving free updates of course! Is it not also the case that a lot of the profits go to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to provide medical facilities in Africa? |

The installation process is faster with USB. Is it your interpretation of the original post that OP wishes to install Windows 10? Was trying to lure him/her back into Win 10 when he/she mentioned Win XP and 7. Well.... forget about my replies then. -- @~@ Remain silent! Drink, Blink, Stretch!

Now I know that you're the guy. Well, they are providing me with a service so in principle I have no objection to paying for this. That's not to say I object to receiving free updates of course! The "service" consists largely of fixing issues with their software. Some would say they have a duty to do so. Is it not also the case that a lot of the profits go to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to provide medical facilities in Africa? I doubt that "a lot" of the profits go there or anywhere outside of the company, but I consider it to be irrelevant. Besides, if you want to donate to that foundation, I assume you can do it directly. You don't need to send money to MS in the hopes that they'll pass some of it on. |
