Civil Liberties

You buy it, you own it, all of it. I spent a lot of time 5 to 20 years ago slipping around ms claims to software and hardware for clients who bought them outright yet were unable to manouver their personal property or hardware due to the finger of ms. In the end I just tried to convince them to wean themselves off of closed source. The ones that did were happier but most were pigeonholed. Times have changed in some ways though and locking owned products is fascist in my opinion.
