    Microsoft is a registered multi-national corporation. Corporations have the stated of goal of making aa profit or $$$$. In the case of Microsoft, the goal is to make a profit by requiring people to upgrade their OS and application software in "big bangs" eg. Windows 95 to Windows 98, Windows 98 to Windows XP, Windows XP to Windows Vista, and so on... Therefore it is perfectly fair to call them Micro$oft. Ad they do call their multi bug fix patches "Service packs". Then they are proposing that people pay to use their applications by the hour (for students doing their homework or for game-players playing games).
