@camdendexter:disqus thank you for your answer. Dumping MICROSOFT would send a message to the world, ***WE ARE SICK OF MEDIOCRITY***
Since inception of DOS, then windows 1, I was there and felt the pain of "BOB" and "ME" and could not believe they would not issue apologies instead they charged for the FIX versions.
I no longer have to tell my wife or kids how to use their PC, both now have Mac Book AIR...
BTW. "Premium hardware pricing" you reference is more than offset by the headache-free ownership, anything goes wrong... (Nothing has except a keyboard not working in 4 years) but a simple walk to APPLE store and it is solved FREE!
Try that with the Micro-CRAP company!

I've use Crappy OS too long to be dissuaded from thinking:
*** IF you blackmail your customers long enough, they will want to be as FAR AWAY FROM you as possible *** and tell everyone how horrible the experience!
