content: LOL, yes, yes you have.  They steal all your data and information and leverage it or sell it.  But, I get your point.   The sad fact of the matter is we have all been forced to pay the Microsoft tax.  Most people don't even realize Microsoft  has so much power that you cannot buy a computer without an OS.  Every manufacturer is basically "required" to install Windows on their products (non Apple of course) and we have to buy it, even when people wipe it and install Linux.  What a load of shit, free country and free market my ass.
