And honestly, your reply, as usual, puts words in my mouth while criticizing me for those words.

I didn't say there was a "problem" with MS offering subscriptions and even said they have their place. It's my opinion they are a bad idea in general and that consumers agree seeing as none of them have ever "caught on." If you put it in the context of these stupid ads, Apple is destroying Microsoft with a device that, in their words, costs thousands of dollars more to fill up with music.

Speaks volumes about subscriptions if you ask me.

As for whether or not I'm abrasive, well that's just fine. I'll just say if you want wishy washy touchy feely be nice BS, you ain't gonna find it here.

Sorry.
