nothing suspicious about amazon being any kind of technology competitor to microsoft, nah. i don't understand why msft hasn't sued amazon to hell and back if these reviews are accurate.

of course, anything that is locked down like windows os purchasing or steam or itunes movies or old yahoo music or any number of things, anything that is locked down will inevitably be a complete ux nightmare train wreck of hell, screwing the regular user who just wanted to buy it and use it. whereas the pirates are circumventing all that anyway. at least when i experience some horrible train wreck ux disaster with open source stuff i likely am not suffering the double insult and stress of having already forked out $100 for it.
