I'm hoping that businesses will finally figure out the simple truth, and that is, they're pissing enormous quantities of money away in advertising anyway.
Mercedes Benz can roadblock advertise their new model on broadcast TV, all they want. I can't afford one, and I have a mute button.
Amazon, I won't buy squat from them, unless it's practically a matter of life and death.
And Google well, I won't answer their "targeted advertising" in my email, even if it's from a company I normally do business with.
As for M$., they have their Satya Nadella, and I have my Windows XP, and Windows 7.
The only thing you forward thinking techies have to worry about, is when M$ & Nadella, finally finish closing up the system, blocking independent developers out, and going to a subscription model for Windows. I mean after all, their business was built on selling $200.00 copies of Windows. Which ain't going to cut it here in the new millennium. After all, it's hard to get people to pay $200.00 for an OS, you're going to install in a $100.00 tablet.
So, how many of you want to pay the "imbecile tax", by waiting until after April Fool's Day, to buy a new Surface for $100.00 more with Windows 10 Pro instead of Windows 10 S, when if you stop screwing around now, you can get it for free?
Let me see a show of hands...
