Sorry, but that's just wrong. Those who are frugal and thrift buy
things that last. Those who think they are being frugal and thrift
shop for slightly underpriced things with even less value. Then they
buy it again, and again.
Another anecdotal story, but I have more then a few friends who are
less then well off. Their spending habits and what they buy are
insane. And this goes far beyond computers. We are talking everyday
spending habits here.
I won't say MS is marketing to these types so much as the cheap
computer manufacturers. These manufacturers remind me of all the rent-
a-center adds on tv. Anyone with half a brain would know to avoid
these places.

Time to face the truth. The predominant reason for getting a PC is

What you call poverty, normal people call frugality and thrift.
Those are
positive values, in case you were wondering.
The only evident truth here is your usual out-of-touch arrogance and
elitist
snobbery masquerading as rationality.
