What I mean is that Microsoft should not just sell Windows for $0.00, I mean to let people take a look at the operating system and do any patches fixes, etc. to the operating system. Ubuntu is open-source and it has had a great success. Mandriva (which I use often), has also had been successful. Up to Windows XP, Windows has been successful. But, when Vista was released, it turned around it's users.
Since the mid-1990's, Microsoft was criticized for not letting Windows users remove Internet Explorer without breaking the computer (Yikes!). Only did Windows 7 gave users freedom to use other browsers without breaking the computer. Still, IE has still not improved the underlying rendering engine (Trident).
Since the time when Microsoft released Windows Defender, IE 7 and Windows Media Player 11, many people weren't happy about this. Microsoft said that businesses "got hurt" by pirate software, but they have got even more hurt by the WGA. Users of Vista and over will have to validate with Microsoft to use their software.
1,000,000,000 is equal to 109.
