If I'm going to buy W8 to run on one of my machines, will any of the free third party DVD players run on the basic version of W8? What's added to the "Professional" version of W8? Is there an Ultimate version of W8? Is that compatability stuff to run old software built into all versions of W8, or only certain versions? I can't even buy a "clean boot" RETAIL version of W8 where the license is transferrable? Microsoft actually has service centers where for $99 they will remove crapware and make you a clean boot of W8? When does Microsoft plan to pull the plug on W7 and stop the SECURITY UPDATES just to force those users to buy Windows 9? Has it occurred to anybody that this model where each Microsoft OS has really bad SECURITY FLAWS actually benefits Microsoft? What would happen to user DEPENDENCY on Microsoft if they made a version of Windows WITHOUT huge security flaws, without the need for 200+ SECURITY UPDATES? Aren't we all just like JUNKIES hooked and dependent on Microsoft for SECURITY UPDATES? --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.1 * Origin: Prison Board BBS Mesquite Tx //telnet.RDFIG.NET www.
