What do you think it would cost MS to sell a version of Windows that's just...an operating system, and not an ad platform? Like Windows XP? Or maybe Windows 10 on day 1?

But think of the shareholders. They would loose so much money they would probably have to sell their third yacht!

But think of the shareholders

I have many thoughts of the shareholders.

Most of those thoughts are quite violent.

I would totally do that. Only problem is that the third yacht really is my favourite, so I'm gonna pass if that's okay. Thanks!

I mean they would have to charge enough to make it financially viable. Maybe no one else would buy it but me...
