    Madness? Buying a new computer every 2 years because the OS vendor is in cahoots with hardware manufacturers is madness. This is rational usage of resources for your benefit.

      OS vendor is in cahoots with hardware manufacturers

      That’s pretty much the strategy since Microsoft has been established. It’s not very creative, it’s not even legal, so it’s impressive (in a bad way) that they manage to keep on making it work.

        it’s not even legal

        Isn’t there one that has both, the OS vendor and the hardware seller as a same entity?
