Plenty of desktop OS's, and Microsoft can't control their price.
Yes, but Microsoft _can_ and _does_ control the reseller. They abuse thier monopolistic power to do so.

I'm alkali-resistant, you insensitive clod!
In 2015, I won't be too concerned about being mown down by an 'old road car'...

I'm sure that in 2038, unbibium will be available at every corner drug store, but in 2008, it's a little hard to come by.
Wonder Woman is going to be pissed off by this.

97.34% of statistics are made up on the spot.
Boy, you're really getting the hang of this 'lie' mode, That was totally convincing!
