Bill Gates and Michael Dell just took Dell private...this is just their first attempt at emulating the Apple model of a subscription based model where you can’t change anything without permission.

You will have to go to them for replacement parts...etc.
When I calculated the money I've spent on PCs, I realized I could've just bought a Mac. I was nervous about making the switch............I wish I would've switched to Mac so much sooner.
