- That statement shows that you are potentially a target for every
- software/hardware manufacturer there is... Do you really think that
- Microsoft has any sort of monopoly on taking advantage of customers?
- Pretty much any corporation will do what it can get away with.
-
- One example that comes to mind is an interesting fact about processor
- speed. It seems that some old (HP or IBM, I believe) mainframe came in a
- fast and slow version... The fast was more expensive. If a customer
- wanted to upgrade, the sales rep would come out and remove a jumper on the
- machine. Talk about abuse...
-
- I suggest you learn to view all people who want your money with suspicion.
