Re: [PLUG] The Redhat Free Update Ride is ending




I am wondering if MS will soon go to a pay
for updates service model for their Windows Update service as well.

Maybe the price is included in the price of the M$ OS?

I would prefer to get the OS for free and have the option to pay for updates than to pay for something up front that I might not use. For a few reasons I do Windows updates manually. Until recently I'd done Linux updates manually. Once M$, and maybe RedHat, get enough people dependent on auto updating, then maybe they will make people pay. (I mean that in more than one sense.)
