A few grand for a production company is a steal. I agree that it is rather on the high end for a typical home consumer, but there are other options for them that do not cost a dime.

Anyway, Microsoft seems to be sticking firm to the forced upgrade, just like I thought they would. Sure it is not the norm to force an upgrade on an operating system, but it would not be the first, per software or op system upgrade either.

One thing I would like to point out, is that Linux has had forced upgrades too. Mostly on the server side thou.

Certain versions of Ubuntu on a Sparc system were forced to upgrade, and so was anyone running Apache/php/perl on many others.

Stating that Linux does not force you to upgrade just simply, is not true in every case.

It will probably get worse as time goes on (forced update wise), on both Windows and Linux.
