If you're in possession of "the truth", why do you keep posting that stuff that has nothing to do with your contention that some apps from Microsoft are freeware despite users having to buy licenses for those apps? > You buy a license for the operating system which gives you the added > benefit of choosing from a lot of freeware they offer because of it. We were talking about apps you can't use without buying a license for those apps, and you said those apps are freeware but you never got around to supporting that strange opinion of yours. > Simply repeating an untruth may work on some, but not me or even most. I don't expect to convince *you* that commercial software sold to users isn't freeware. I was just wondering if you had anything better than saying "hogwash" to support your notion that it should be called freeware.

I've fixed your misquoting of me. Please don't do that any more, Bottoms. > How many times are you going to repeat the above falsehood. How many times are you going to mistake questions for falsehoods? And how many times are you going to erroneously accuse me of posting alleged falsehoods without attempting to back up your accusations? > How many license/s/ do you need to buy for the Windows OS? I don't need to buy any licenses for Windows®, but thanks for the offer. > Clear it up. The futility of trying to clear anything up for you was established here years ago.

That's demonstrably false, BB. We talked about this already. > ...which is licensed, to run. There are any number of applications written for MSOS which can run on top of other Operating Systems. A small subset of these applications, such as Internet Explorer, requires that you have a Windows OS license. This is a licensing requirement, not a technical requirement. hth, -- -Craig |
