Microsoft may tout Windows as your helpful computing companion, always keeping your best interests in mind, but that's not really true. Windows always keeps Microsoft's interests in mind. You'll find that out as soon as you call Microsoft for help with making Windows work right. They charge more than $50 per call.
Microsoft also uses Windows to plug its own products and services. For example, Internet Explorer's Favorites area, a place for you to add your favorite Web destinations, comes stuffed with Microsoft's Web sites.
Simply put, Windows not only controls your computer, but also serves as a huge Microsoft advertising vehicle. Treat the built-in advertising flyers as a salesperson's knock on your door.
