13. So, if you buy computer (hardware) from Dell, et. al., and it gets fried..
...this means you have to buy a new motherboard AND now new operating system (which was originally freely bundled)
This is a way for Microsoft to attempt to keep up quarterly growth in a saturated marketplace. In other words, you no longer have a free operating system for as long as you have a particular computer if you ever have to replace motherboard/chip components.
Expect more and more restrictions as the marketplace saturation of MS operating system slows profit growth.
