[QUOTE="Antimalware18, post: 974668, member: 18214"] Yes, IMO that's a much to egregious approach to it. If they want to charge for consider it is built into the OS itself. they should consider a "opt-in" approach. Say when your installing windows or setting up windows fom purchasing the computer it gives you the option to add WD to the machine at a one time cost (instead of billing cycle) and if you decide you don't want to opt-in WD is not installed. I think that would be the best of both worlds honestly, there is the potential to make $$ there but it doesn't....betray your user base. now, I understand Microsoft is a business and as a business your in it to make money. But coming from the culinary world I see things a bit differently. you have to give something away for free to reap even better rewards in the end. And this honestly just feels like a executive standing in front of me with their hand out. [/QUOTE]
