178. I got an example

I might get flamed for this lol. You know Bill Gates is filthy rich right? I think he's got about $67 billion so far. I have nothing against people making money, but Bill Gates really is having a laugh. If I want to buy Windows, I can't use it on more than one computer at a time. If I buy the family pack I can install it on 3 computers, but of course the last time I looked it was it was almost 3 times the cost. I think you get a little discount, but you're not hugely better off financially. I don't know if Windows 8 fall under the same restrictions, but I'm talking about 7.

Bill Gates has more money than he's ever going to use (even after charity donations), but yet I still have to purchase a seperate license key for each one. My husband builds our computers so the hardware can be be upgraded when they need to be. It's a bit cheaper than buying a whole unit already built. So that means we're not buying machines that have windows already installed on the hard drive, which sadly seems to be the cheapest way to obtain Windows on different computers. We just upgraded both our computer's hardware, had to buy 2 seperate copies. I think that's ridiculous and feels like a bit of a rip off. I'm not saying one copy should be used for a 100 different computers, but 2 or 3 without paying more would be nice! So while it hits me and millions of others hard in the wallet, Bill Gates is swimming in it. I wouldn't ordinarily mind, but come on.

Oh and if you change your motherboard, Windows thinks it's a different computer and believes 2 computers are sporting the same key, even though all they'd have to do is flag updates for 2 computers being used at the same time with the same key. In my case, it was only updating on one computer. I was able to get them to cancel my previous set up so the new one wasn't flagged or causing issues, but what a pain in the ass!

But between what seems like a monoply on operating systems and making everyone pay for seperate licensing keys, it's no small wonder how he got to $67 billion. To me that is one small way that someone benefits hugely off the backs of 99% of the population who have peanuts to live on - in comparison to him.
