I'll grand you that.
OTOH, M$'s products aren't exactly "cheap", by any stretch of the
imagination. I think what most people really object to is paying vast
sums of money for a product that isn't actually all that good. Let's
face if, when you run KLogic and it crashes for the 18th time, you think
to yourself "oh well, it least it didn't cost me anything". If you paid
£400 for a piece of software and it behaved the same way, you'd be
pretty upset.
