There are thousands of apps available to Windows users that will lessen the load on their wallets tremendously and will get the job done just as well as their high cost counterpart. Most Windows users are unwilling to learn something new though. They expect the computer to do that for them too. M$ has gone out of it's way to instill that thinking in them for it's own benefit and too increase it's lock on the software market. All this leads to even more dependency on M$ type software and even higher costs to the end user, eventually. This all happens because they are lazy and unwilling to change in order to get what they are looking for. Consequently, what they end up with is even more enslavement to a commercial exploiter. Ironically, that's what they keep crying to get away from. They are their own enemy.
