Software would need to be repurchased if it's even available on the other platform. Maybe you could but I know I couldn't easily or cheaply switch.
- ericmay 5y agoDon’t people do this now with game consoles for example? I could easily switch. I guess maybe we should all make sure we buy software that is device independent or something too. If you want regulation, then I think thats a good starting point. Software doesn’t have to be made for every device, but if you buy it for one you buy it for all. Or we can just let things go too. Seems to be working mostly fine.
