Inbthe corporate world it's because they have millions of dollars tied up in Microsoft software. In the consumer world it's because the alternatives are more expensive (Apple) or don't support all your software and hardware (any of the free Unixes). You think there wouldn't have been a mass exodus away from Windows if the alternatives did what users wanted.
Which doesn't describe the 9/11 bombers or the 7/7 bombers in the UK or most of the Paris murderers. We have people from the UK, from middle class families going off to a war zone hellhole. How they're doing that is a masterclass in motivation.
The Surface and Windows Phones will sell very well to corporates with heavy investment in Microsoft tech because it integrates very well and the Surface can run all their proprietary software. Apple and Linux fanboys are completely incapable of understanding that the corporate world is never going to fully embrace something that doesn't allow them to take advantage of their huge investment in Windows.
I've seen people tearing their hair out over SQL Server licensing. They tried to get an explanation from Microsoft and even they couldn't explain it. The thing that a lot of inexperienced people here don't realise is that it's incredibly expensive either way and it's a lot easier and less of a business risk to just keep paying the devil you know than to completely rewrite your core systems. If you've got other Microsoft software such as Dynamics or SharePoint then you're basically trapped forever.
The eventually part is the problem since there will inevitably be a gap between the collapse of the middle class in the developed world and the rise of a new middle class with similar spending power anywhere else.
No they wouldn't because they would ask "can it run x" and the answer would nearly always be no or run this application that has half the features and can't read the files you need it to read.
What will you do if you get a chronic condition that doesn't kill you but means you can't work. Will you be respecting other people's freedom by committing suicide immediately?
I've been in IT for 20 years and the lonely and socially inept have been a small minority of my colleagues. In any case the lonely and socially inept that you so despise were probably badly bullied at school. They're not going to be more social if people like you give them more of the same.
It's very hard to compete with a much lower standard of living. I know economists like yourself don't need food, clothing or shelter but the rest of us do.
Liberals are well aware of that. Liberals are also aware that if you make people's lives better through such Commie things as universal education and not bankrupting them for the crime of getting sick they tend to be more productive.
Or Samsung could've decided that themselves. I don't know why you're so desperate to defend them. Their uselessness at providing updates isn't something I just made up.

I'm sorry to hear that.
It's perfectly simple. I don't speak any other languages fluently so it's harder to judge. Wind your fucking head back in.
I'm not sure what you mean by the bit in brackets. I think I'll just say go fuck yourself chuckles.
Clowns to the left and jokers to the right sounds like a succinct summary of politics in every English speaking country.

You have to leave your basement for that.

News for morons. Stuff that's dumbed down.
I'm pretty sure I've got a credit card here in the UK. What's the difference between US credit cards and European ones?

I wonder how many deaths would be caused by unregulated drugs.

Not being able to upgrade the RAM without buying a whole new computer is why I don't have one. I'm certainly not paying Apple prices for RAM.
Liberal slave owners.
How many did Jimmy Savile rape over those 50 years? Why did all the people that knew about his behaviour do nothing? Was it because he was a Muslim?

They're all in prison now. Unlike Jimmy Savile who got away with it for 50 fucking years.

So the US Government doesn't give money to the Israeli Government?
WoW is already OpenGL so it would be less difficult to port than some. Perhaps it will finally make it to Linux via Steam OS.
