Comment Re:Saving? (Score 1) 81

If the vast majority of Americans lived frugally, saving some money for emergencies and investing most of the rest of their money in diversified stocks and bonds, spending only what they need to cover good medical care, healthy food and exercise opportunities, a sufficient but small house/apartment and transportation, and minimal luxuries....we would experience severe deflation and unemployment.

Really no. The wealthy get most of the money. The wealthy spend less of the money. When the poor get it, it's spent about five times before it comes to rest in a tax dodge. When the wealthy get it, it's spent only about twice. What we need is for the wealthy to spend money like they pretend they do, in order to create jobs like they pretend they do.

And Microsoft themself is now acting to make that dependence on Windows go away, with web-based versions of their applications. I think they can see that Windows' time is limited. Maintaining an OS is a big thankless job that they don't need to do, and they're not any good at it so it's not like they deserve thanks anyway.
