    Yeah, efforts to attack the digital divide by charging people for an operating system and products when they can barely afford necessities and there are tons of viable, free alternatives available.

    This isn’t a humanitarian effort. This is a power-grab for future customers. Which isn’t a bad thing, at all. Except when it’s masked as some kind of chivalrous mission.
