If you use software that is $10k/year and Windows only, a few bucks here and there to improve your quality of life is a rounding error


I wonder if a lot of Windows users are also BMW drivers. If they're willing to shrug off $250 a year to be able to copy files efficiently on their computers, they are likely also to applaud the wonders of $50 a month for heated seats.


> BMW drivers

£50 for a heated seat, perhaps, but you also get by far one of the best turbocharged inline-6 engines ever put in a 4-door saloon, the S58. Analogous to Windows NT, a well-engineered kernel.


$250 (currently $200) is a single perpetual license. Annually it's $40/yr.

It's easy to lose a few minutes each day to Explorer shenanigans. For people making real money that adds up fast.
