But in the "Windows World" you are not forced into this every 3 years.
Besides, most companies don't upgrade OSes on existing machines anyway.
You get the new OS pre-installed on new machines, as needed. On MY
schedule. Makes your "click the Upgrade button and grab a cup of coffee"
seem like an incredible waste of time, particularly when multiplied by 500
(or 5000) machines.

So you have to pay more in order to get a working solution. I thought
"It's Free" was a major advantage!?
