[AccessD] Windows 8

<<But we shall see...If Microsoft released its top versions of Windows at

$100 they could halt the Linux advance but then they would be annoying the

 The problem with them doing that is you don't end up buying new hardware
then.

 Try running Win 7 on older hardware and you won't like it.

These are interesting times...

A full version of Windows is selling for about $400 while preloaded version
cost $50 or less. It is cheaper to buy a new computer with Windows preloaded
and now people are seriously looking at other options than always having to
go out and buy another piece of hardware.
