Uh, people wait in line simply because Microsoft is too cheap to pay for adequate update capacity, and having their customers pay for the bandwidth and CPU capacity to do Microsoft’s updates for Microsoft benefits ONLY Microsoft, namely, Microsoft gets to save hundreds of millions in server capacity by putting THEIR responsibility on the financial backs of THEIR customers. Good thing Honda isn’t like Microsoft, expecting their customers to pay for oil changes for their other customers.

And yes, I know all about bit torrent: good luck in getting a large download to complete in under a day, if it ever completes at all. Bit torrent is the ultimate socialist data distribution solution: to each according to their need; from each according to their willingness. Too bad paying taxes doesn’t follow the bit torrent philosophy.

At least using Bit torrent is voluntary. Socialism is deceitful and ultimately gives you no choice.
