In that case, we should be able to make as many copies of MS software as we want for free. Because, as long as I can remember, I have gotten NO SERVICE from MS at all. Indeed, I had to fix things myself. And in recent years MS has even made people pay (or at least gives them no money) to debug MS's software. Maybe you were agreeing with me (or others). If MS would sell the OS for 'x' dollars, and then offer to sell a 'service' contract for 'x' dollars per year, that would be fine by me. Of course, anyone but the richest corporations would probably be pretty dumb to buy that service contract (given MS's past performance in the support arena). :-) -Charlie _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
