Of course it does. That's why the "disabled" use it so much.

Now that wasn't very nice!

So sorry. I meant "mentally" disabled, not the kind that had
various parts of their bodies chopped off/made inoperative by
genetics/chemicals/sickness/violence.
See ? I'm a nice guy.


Now you are a nice politically correct good guy!

No matter what M$loft say or do to sway or even purchase public opinion
about anything to do with their product or organization, will never
convince me of their value. Sure everything everywhere gets logged
nowadays, no biggie - just don't like M$loft.

It doesn't matter what you think.

Microsoft enables people. If you aren't one of the enabled, you
are one of the left out.

AS/400s have a greater market share than linux desktops and
apple desktops/laptops combined.

It takes a couple more brain cells to use linux, but it also
takes a lot more time.

Apple products are for people too stupid and lazy to use real
computers.

MS have been working on the idea that you don't own your software for years.

Oh, and it'll only be a free desktop upgrade for a year, after which
you'll have to start paying for it - so the upgrade is kinda a free trial.

Oh, and it'll only be free for things with screens 7" or smaller for a
while, until people start using in mobile devices, when they will start
charging for it.

Charging to rent it, that is, not to buy it.

Good marketing ploy - just hopefully some of us aren't that dumb.

the real reason I use Linux and BSDs is because I can see the source and
play with it. If windows was open-source (not necessarily free in any
sense) I'd be interested in it.

Why should anyone believe what you think matters?

They sure enable a lot of virus and malware writers! They are in turn
futilely chased by the protection program writers... I'll stick with
Linux and leave you in your "enabled" world...

Yeah you do that Mr. Wyle E. Coyote supergenius...snicker!

Except that there is no evidence at this point in time that they are
going to charge for it after that first year. In fact, they've said the
very opposite. It appears that the upgrade is not only free for any user
of Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 who installs it in its first year of release but
also that it will remain supported for as long as that device is used.

I heard that MS was going to use New York City speakeasy owner

"Hello, suckers!"

Ah, yet another lying Linux loser, defending his horrible operating
system choice by making **** up about the most popular one.
