- Well, you cannot call this "selling an operating system".
-
- First, MS does not "sell" an OS but the applications built around it and the
- ONE application forming the quasi-OS -> Wind*ws!
-
- Or do you think they would make all their money just by selling MSD*Sx.x?
-
- And, BTW, I would not call it "selling" stuff, it's more like ripping off
- ingenuous customers - there need not be a difference in meaning though...
