It's just about money, I've been in bands and they don't get hardly any of the money. Look what the record companies did to the bands in the 60's 70's and part of the 80's they basically took all the money the band made. My friend just put songs on iTunes, I think he gets an 1/8 of a cent for everyone purchased. The movie companies are trying to get everyone used to the digital copies so they can maintain control of everything, you don't own anything you get from digital download it's guaranteed only for 5 years. I suspect it's going to go far more downhill in the future. Software companies are pushing the subscription to the software crap. Where are all of the people that almost put Microsoft out of business the first time they tried that ? Does anyone recall that ?

These companies anymore are just out for themselves and nothing else and that's what the politicians are doing on both sides.

Maybe I'm just getting old and don't want to change but I can see where all this is headed in the future.

So you're going to pay Microsoft for an OS when there's perfectly good ones out there that respect privacy and are free?

I know but I haven't had experience with Linux since probably the 90's when they were touting it. If I remember I think it was Redhat. It wasn't the best back then and I'm sure it's better now but I pretty much know Microsoft OS inside and out.

I used to be the tech team manager for a MS only MSP but moving to Linux after that was like a breathvof fresh air. You dont realize how fucking goofy the Microsoft environment us until you climb out of it.
