Ok. You are confusing "choice" with "convenience"

Then that's what you must've meant by choice in your prior post! You meant convenience.

the fridge comes for free, but has different requirements and features that only the original provider can provide you. Maybe you don't pay for it now, you might down the road. Maybe you'll never have to pay to maintain this fridge. But you see, people are of habits. Once you start using it, you'll probably want to keep it. In keeping it you're locking yourself with that provider for a long time and paying whatever it takes to keep that fridge.

This concept of free is oxymoronic. There is no such thing. I'll let you make sense of this.
If you love MS products, then good. I don't. You're not right and I'm not wrong and vise versa. It seems to me we both've made up our minds
cheers.
