This is an odd incentive. One might consider it as a reason for using Windows as long as possible, since the bottle would be of a mature vintage and worth more?
It's kind of like the furniture store that refunds people's mattress purchases if the baseball team wins. Given the advantage of not making people's purchase free retroactively, the promotion is kind of like betting against the team even though it is proclaimed as if it is in support of the team.
- cjbgkagh 3y agoIf age was a consideration I would have bought an older bottle. I'm not a connoisseur, or even a lush. It's a large bottle so that I can share it with my friends, I'm the last windows holdout so they're waiting on me. My windows experience isn't even that bad as I disable most of the crap they try to foist upon me. It's the forced breaking upgrades that have caused the most personal grief. Apart from that it really is about responding to customer demand. I'd like to buy an apple laptop and hopefully by then there is a really good linux experience. I'd hate to go from Windows anti-consumerism to Apple anti-consumerism but it's hard to get good laptop hardware.
