The idea that he's buying new laptops every few months rather discredits this article.
I agree that statement in the article was completely ridiculous.
The overarching point though of the over-commercialization of Windows stands as completely legitimate. I've used Windows (and modems) a decade longer than the the OP, have been a fairly strong supporter of Windows but I've about had enough myself.
Microsoft isn't alone in this - Google's constant whining about not using Chrome on their web properties is just as pathetic.
Microsoft, you're worth $2.15 trillion. You are violating your fiduciary duty to shareholders by prioritizing extremely short-term revenue gains over long term viability of the platform. You are jeopardizing that long term viability of the platform by annoying and spying on your user base so you can make pennies from them. It is a veritable "kill the goose that lays the golden eggs" situation.
