microsoft in panic about customers seeing through high price ripoff scandal!
in recent news microsoft have started giving refunds on their overpriced fuckware in a bid to keep hold of customers who are becoming more and more savvy to the fact that there is better software in the world at a cheaper price under more reasonable conditions.
microsoft are hoping that by making their 'products' dirt cheap, students will not notice their highly restrictive and invasive licencing agreements and will refrain from trying out alternatives to microsoft's offerings. These licencing agreements will enable microsoft to make up the lost money by selling information about the users of their software.
Experts say that users are likely to be taken in by this for five to ten years and "by that time, microsoft will have used hardware to tie everybody into their own platform anyway" said one notable pundit.
