Comment Planned Obsolecence (Score 1) 226
$MSFT makes money on the OS when it is pre-installed on new PCs. So make a OS that is only on new PCs and does not work on old PC's as an update. All part of the plan for millions of PCs to be obsolete in a short time and long before the hardware wears out. Forcing people to buy a new computers and pay $MSFT their percent. Then do it as often as one buys new shoes so the OS and PC is a service.
