Good grief! MS were already making a massive loss with this predatory
and immorally under-priced "loss leader" *before* the price cut.

If they cut the price any further, they'll need to *pay* customers to
take them. I wonder how much of a bribe it will take to "sell" these
death machines? How much is the safety of one's family is worth these
days anyway? What is the going rate for a human baby?

then demands money:
