Can you document Microsoft's having charged for the XP, et al, updates? My search turned up nothing of the sort.
I recall seeing it in an early news article (most likely in The New York Times) — but it was a comment made
en passant and it may have been removed in subsequent updates, and since I didn't make a copy of the article, I can't oblige with a legitimate quote.
(If I hadn't read it, I wouldn't have said it. I'm not in the habit of promulgating "false news".)
