Hmm, first update I've paid for in 6 years vs. how many OS X paid

you get what you pay for.

Tom, as usual, makes an ass of himself. And, as usual, Mac OS X is
CHEAPER than Windows, for everyone but Tom, if you take into account ALL
costs.

Go read my post 'Windows 5x More Expensive than Mac OS X' AND also READ
THE ARTICLE that is linked in it.

Then cry and cry like your heart is breaking, poor sad Windows users.
