Story: Curbing Microsoft's naked ambition
Posted by: IT manager (Sunday 9 April 2006, 8:31 PM)
I am sick of paying a tax on crappy, bug ridden, spyware loving Microsoft Windows !
I've tried to have windows unbundled from a PC in PC World, thats 'not possible sir - sorry'. I argue that I have an existing copy of Windows that I legitimately want to reuse, on just one machine- 'sorry sir the manafacturers have an agreement to include the OS'. But I choose to use Linux, I don't want to pay for Windows - 'sorry thats not an option.' I tried to convinve the consumers association (CA) that this was wrong - 'sorry thats just the market'.
Make it optional for hardware purchases, with other options like Linux (or Mac) on an equal footing.
