I am being charged twice for Microsoft Micro and Microsoft Microsoft F? What are these? The only subscription I have is for Microsoft Word. :0 I don’t know why I’m being charged twice and by unfamiliar names. Usually when I pay for my subscription, the title to the payment request is always just “Microsoft”

Microsoft to charge for Updates

You need to find a new class, m'kay?

Microsoft ALREADY charges for support calls. They will NEVER charge for a security update.. they'll be sued by nearly every corporation on the planet.

 

Microsoft to charge for Updates

Yea, I don't think microsoft would add this nail.. and charge you for security updates. If anything they are gearing there product around the way apple does OSX. I can see them moving to that model. Do away with a new OS every 3 years and start charging for incremental updates. Instead of charging $300+ up front for a new version of Windows.. Do like Apple, and charge around $100(not actual.. I've not own a new apple OSX machine in awhile) for an update. It sounds good on paper and it would be good for people that buy OEM machines, but for us it won't be as friendly adding as much hardware and reformating as often as we do with our machines.

I see this as Microsoft just fishing to see there customers reaction.

 

Acer CEO to Microsoft: ‘Think twice’ about Surface tablets

Acer's concern is the "walled garden." They see Microsoft releasing hardware as a step in that direction. Google has avoided the "walled garden" hence little impact.
