"....or (now) the subsidy the OS vendor pays the hardware manufacturer to put their OS on the hardware..."
totally agree!
you'd think that this is something for everyone to cheer about, right? as in, you now get a discount for using something you previously had to pay for. and you *still* have the option of replacing it if you didn't want it, *without* losing that discount. but Noooo.. that's still not good enough for some people.
