Can someone tell me. in simple terms. Why Windows 7 or any OS for that matter is so expensive?
I mean. What is it? It is a program for using your computer. But then you still have to go out and buy other programs anyhow.
I realise a OS is like a steering wheel to a car, for want of a better analogy. Without a OS the computer does nothing. But OS are expensive for what it is. (yes I do know about Linux etc and other free OS) I am just talking about MS here.
Maybe it is just me. But I just wanted to gain some knowledge from some people in the know on this subject.
Like Windows 7. Why so many versions at quite high prices?
Also, What doe windows 7 (any version) give the user that XP didn't, or vista didn't etc?
Thanks. Just was curious about some things.
