| Windows has had the ability to provide a simultaneous multi-user
| environment to home users for many years now but Microsoft and the
| Hardware vendors don't want you to have it as it affects their revenue.
| Isn't it about time we consumers got together and demanded a
| multi-user license for one pc at a fair price for the home user.
| We have been giving our money to Microsoft for years and guess what
| Bill has so much he is giving it away instead of providing a fair
| deal to the consumer.
|
| The big advantage of this configuration is environmental as one
| household would have one pc!
