Well, there are probably MORE Windows users in India & the Mideast, than there are in the United States. They're receiving the same slap in the face from Microsoft that we are. What the world is witnessing and experiencing is a Microsoft that's going through an internal crises. Hopefully when it emerges, the company will be more like the one Bill Gates founded. One that respects the end user. If going back to a Purchasable O.S., is the price for re-gaining respect, I'm all in.
Maybe like other companies, it needs to bring Bill Gates back to Microsoft... Just like Apple with bringing Steve Jobs back... or heck, let Paul Allen run Microsoft!
