Hey, what in the world? This site is supposed to be supportive of
MicroSoft, especially considering that MicroSoft hosts it and all. Now why
would I wanna pay extra? Considering how much people are against MicroSoft,
I would like to support it if I can, even if that means paying a little bit
extra at times. Especially considering it's only 10 dollars.
Milly Staples said:I support Microsoft in every way, but until they are paying my salary (which they are NOT), I tend to choose carefully how I spend my money and where I can realize a savings.
Say that $10 is a negligible amount the next time you need cash to pay for a plane or train ticket to visit your parents on holiday. Or for when you would like to go the extra mile and treat a special friend to lunch. For me, every $10 saved per week ends up being over $500 at the end of the year. I don't consider that chump change.

Oh really? I thought the MVP meant they paid you... Like Microsoft V*
Paid. But anyways, I wanna buy the software from MicroSoft not necessarily
because I want to pay extra to them, but a big part of it is that I want all
of the money I pay to go to them, not to some retail company. And regardless
of where you think I should buy it, could you just tell me the page where I
can buy it from MicroSoft?

Yeah, it's that five-minute delay between posting and appearing on the
boards that causes this to happen... Wonder why they created it.
Apparently, they have a good reason, since Google does it too, and two major
companies wouldn't both just spontaneously make some capricious action that
is detrimental to the public.
