The deep problem here is that people who own a Windows operating system did not pay for a service, they payed a license to use a product on their own computer. When I pay to the telephone company for the service, I know that such service may be interrupted if a line breaks. When I buy a car, I do not expect it to stop working even if the manufacturer's headquarters set on fire.
