Well, I can tell you that I paid for Windows 7, Windows XP I got with the PC I bought before. I'd much rather know that I'm getting all the updates and I don't need to have 20 hacked files laying around and then I get my system bitching me. I'm very willing to spend 80 bucks or so every 3 years for that peace of mind. Plus XP lasted a lot longer than that, and I don't plan to upgrade to Windows 8 any time soon.

Yes, I agree...

Should be a lot easier to launch something into space if there's no atmosphere and only 16 % of earth's gravity.

Also, the astronauts would have _some_ gravity... maybe you could even build something underground to reduce space radiation?

A lot of interesting things could be done there... space wouldn't be so much of an issue anymore. (Well, only if we could get some machines up there that can create building material out of stuff that can be found on the moon... Building a larger structure with material from the earth would be super-expensive).
