    Even before this proposed change, people look for alternatives. This will not be a good idea for Microsoft in the long run.

    that sounds ridiculous and i am pretty sure they know what the consequences will be if they implement that idea.

    I cant believe you people are falling for this.. And for everyone saying they would go to MAC.. Are you for real? Apple INC. is way more into sucking the money out of its users than Microsoft ever has been or will be.

    yeah, the price which Apple charges for its products is not justified....
    MS Windows is still the market leader for nothing!!:p

    Actually, it is justified. The hardware is tested and you know it will work with your software. The software is tested and known to work with the hardware. You never have to worry that new drivers won't work and it will work out of the box so no time wasted. Somewhere on the 'net there's an article that goes into detail about this
    While Microsoft sales have dropped this past year, Apple's doubled. Also, 50% of college students now use a Mac. At my son's college, in his class, the figure is 100%.

    Its ok becouse microsoft still has over 88% of the market under its belt. And all this hardware your talking about.. first off its all the same hardware thats in a p.c, second microsft dont make "hardware" they make software so stop comparing the 2. your trying to compare apple to an H.P or an alienware and we aren't talking about those.

    It is not. Apple makes their own.
    That post was and that's the one I was responding to.
