They only want you to pay for them, I don't think they seriously expect anyone to use their poo poo. InfoPath in Office is still amazing why it exists.

licensing is structured such that, without going to volume licensing, it's impossible for small businesses to legally use access

~see my amazon wishlistu~
i bought a really awesome laptop that came with windows 8 pro and had problems with wifi not working after a wake from sleep, the computer waking up in the middle of the night and staying running until it killed the battery or i found it and put it back to sleep, and some minor sound problems like occasional static noise or the audio device completely disappearing until i rebooted. i even factory reset it but still had all the same problems. they also followed me from 8 to 8.1 to 10.

i put fedora workstation 23 on it and after several months the only problem i have is that programs crash when they try to turn on the webcam that i don't even use so i'll take that tradeoff

so i guess what i'm saying is windows has become what we make fun of linux for and linux is good now

there's nothing stopping you subscribing to one license of proplus and paying with a credit card.
