Microsoft's model faces problems

Microsoft's business model of flogging expensive software to outfits that will have to buy it again in four years is starting to wear at the elbows. It is not because the outfit is being undercut by free software from Linux either.

Redmond's main problem is the popularity of cut price hardware which runs on a lower spec. True, netbooks are starting to drop out of fashion, but they are being replaced by ultra-thin notebooks which run on lower specs than their notebook or desktop equivalents. Microsoft wants to stick Windows 7 into these machines but the problem is that the Operating System is a huge chunk of the final cost.

I appreciate this way of doing business. I may even buy Lies of P now because of it. Where your money goes it's literally the only leverage we have as consumers to make a difference in an industry we all have an opinion about. Withholding it or spending it in the right places is about all we can do.

This is fire. Just like the game. I haven't gotten the dlc yet, but im really thinking about it. I just thought it ended great, I really want to see what they do with Dorothy. Will you fight the Tinman, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, the Wicked Witch and Wizard of Oz? Maybe Toto's with us, that'd be fire.
