AA19-290A: Microsoft Ending Support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

[Richard O'Neill]

  That makes perfect sense from a business perspective. Now I finally 
understand my suspicions about why old Bill Gates gave away Win 10 for 
free. It wasn't free! He didn't want all those hangers-on to have a free 
ride when he could use them to debug his new program and rent upgrades 
instead of spending money developing new software. Now he gets to hold 
onto us by the short hairs! Yessiree Bob,good old American Capitalism 
/is/ alive and well after all. 8-) Meet the new Boss, same as the old Boss!
