Perfectly illustrated

I couldn’t agree more. I’ve heard recent grumblings that the new version of Windows (the one to replace Vista) is even going to try to go with the “subscription model” for certain components. It’ll ship with a pile of “trials” of things, that you can pay for if you want to continue using. Presumably, you’ll be charged for upgrades, too.

Wait, how is that any different from any OEM build of Vista or XP again? Oh, right, it’s all Microsoft logos all over everything instead of AOL, Yahoo, and the other companies jockeying for placement on that start menu Smiling

I’m really, really glad Linux is finally purring like a kitten on this notebook. The only “subscriptions” I have are in my RSS reader, and those are free Smiling
