Charge for Automatic Updates?

Hello,

I think it would be a great idea for Microsoft to charge a fee each time a
user has to download an update from their site. What in the world would be
keeping them from doing it? You should have to pay a fee, something like 2
or 3 dollars each time an update or a patch for a Windows operating system
is issued, that is if you want to download it. If not, you take your own
chances.

Just think of all the poor Microsoft employee's who have to constantly work
on patches and updates and the such. These employees could all be given a
raise if a fee was imposed for updates and patches.

I guess I am writing this post in the hopes that someone that could help do
something about it is reading. That way, at least they will know that there
is a wide support base that would whole-heartedly pay anything that needed
to be paid in order to keep up to date.

It never hurts to let the employees of a company know that regular,
everyday, work hard for their money Joe's and Jane's, will gladly part with
some of that money each month when the updates and patches come out, just to
stay current and feel secure.
