| HL's Technomancer  | Re: Big Brother Probably what we'll see out of these is certain Microsoft programs, maybe even Windows itself, free for download in a "Lite" version that has most of the features but loaded down with ads. It would be a great scheme...here, try Windows for free! We've excluded a few programs, like WMP and Security Center, and loaded it down with intrusive ads but it's free to run. Then for only 249.99 you can upgrade to the full version with complete support and ads disabled. It would be great, those of us with secondary folding builds could run the free version and turn millions, possibly billions in ad revenues, while Microsoft still rakes in when people get the full version. ...I wish I was Jobs right now.  |
