I get the joke, but I paid $200 for Logic, MainStage, and a host of other Apple programs on my Mac all bundled that I use as my main source of income, and they have updated for free for the past 8 years. When I bought a new machine, I was able to use the license on both machines. I can even load those programs onto other Macs without paying extra. I made all of that money back after selling just 1 composition. The OS is also free to update, even through major updates, unlike Windows.
Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.
This is not the place to start flamewars between Lemmy, Mbin and Piefed.

Thanks for reestablishing the truth, as uncomfortable as it may be. Windows is free now too, at least the update from whatever to 11 was
Not if you account for the almost arbitrary hardware restrictions that have axed most existing systems. Even those that weren't that old.
Ah, yes. I didn't realize because I own a top of the line system for work. But that's true. Something to do with new bootloaders or something
Since 1992 I think I have paid for Windows as often as for WinRAR.
Yar.
(I use WinRAR btw)
