This is a serious question and is NOT a windows bashing thread
If in some huge mess Microsoft were to declare bankruptcy what would happen to windows. Who would support it? What would happen to all the people running just windows?

Microsoft, in a final desperate attempt to save itself, will start charging 50 cents per security update or bug fix, plus another $45 per month to use their diabolical cloud-computing based crap. By the time they go under, they will have a negligible amount of customers.

If Microsoft were to declare bankruptcy, the government would bail them out. :(

My fingers made the above :( into a :) twice before I overcame the muscle memory. :lol:

I predict that eventually, Microsoft will be based in Korea (instead of China, because the Chinese government has been decidedly pro-Linux as of late.)

The U. S. Government will by that time be so deep in hock, Microsoft will actually decline the bailout offer.
