How much did the upgrade to XP cost? That wasn’t free, and neither were any other previous upgrades to Windows.

So, Samsung pays Microsoft over everything other than the OS? I also did IP law as an online class.

Citation needed. They didn't need to give away Windows for free for the last 20 years.

Do you not remember the antitrust case against Microsoft? Also, the fact that the Zune or the Windows phone didn’t take off should show how well Microsoft’s products were received. Also, Windows 10 is free. If people liked MS Windows, it wouldn’t be free.

Were all of your social studies teachers worthless?

And both are public services...
