I'm not sure I understand your argument. I am basing my argument on the
fact that most people buying Windows Retail are doing so because they
feel comfortable that they can get the support that they may need. There
is always someone to call or email.

The argument that you are making above would apply to Corporate users,
but the argument that I was making was for individual home users.
