Did you really just say "sales of free software are low"?
This Vista business isnt about cost, tho there are many that would have
software for free,
What the problem with Vista is, it doesnt give any real benefits over
winXP for an inflated price.
So people arnt stupid,
What ever else it does, theres no point in changing at considerable
expense for no benefit.
Given Microsoft's history of monopolising everything they want, and
screw the rest.
Not exactly an ethical approach to business is it?
thats a separate issue.
If Microsoft offered an OS that was as secure and as virus free as open
