Who cares? When they'll offer real functional warranty on their products and charge normal prices, I’ll bother to pay for them. Until then, I don't care.How come they offer WindowsXP + MS Office XP for 29,99$ in one country and charge over 700$ in my contry ? That's the correct price? Sure .. if BeOS would still be around and if Apple would make OSX Pc compatible ... maybe their monopoly would vanish and they'll start charging normal prices. But that never happened so other things won't happen either .. 
I call Microsoft's National center from my country, I was working as the system admin at one company that had a development agreement with Microsoft and had access to unlimited number of licenses and all Microsoft software. I tell them : "Look, my PC is manifesting tons of BSODs with a clean install of XPSP3 but no problem with my own hacked XPSP2 Corporate. What should I do?" ... "Try this version ... or this version .. or this other version from our servers!"Tried them all and the result ? Same problem! I call again ... director of technical support is online and says : "Then we have no solution for you."HA! If a mainboard would malfunction and the manufacturer would say "Sorry, we have no solution for you!" and I'd have paid them 300$ for it, I'd crack his head open. But Microsoft and many, many software companies get away with having buggy , dysfunctional software that they've charged money for .
