I mean.. it costs money to continue to develop software.
The idea of paying for an OS is different from the idiocy of Windows-forced updates.
I understand people think of an OS as a static thing but when hardware changes you need to rewrite some of the stuff that sits on top, plus security updates.
- lvs 8y agoThen just price in the cost of security updates into the up-front price. Done and done! This "innovation" in tech business plans to maximize perpetual revenue from users is (obviously) anti-consumer and dystopian. It's disingenuous to say that you can justify what's happened solely based on the cost of updates.
- unityByFreedom 8y agoPrice in the cost of all future security updates? Why would I want to buy software updates for life? That sounds incredibly expensive. And if a company were successful at selling this model, they could be taken over by some greedy businessmen who cut costs in order to get short term profit.
