Do companies like M/S make money from the ISP’s every time someone updates windows? always assumed that companies got a percentage of money from data used to download, in other words if you buy 4Gb of data from an ISP a certain % of this would go to the websites providing down/L content even if it was just say 5 pence per gb?

The IX operating systems may have 19+ percent so that leaves only 5 or 6 billion pcs, smart tablets/phones, organizers, fit bit, anything with a screen that you can cause things (alarms, reminders, notes, lists) to come about and change generally uses an interface that may be as simple as a RISC unit up to full on MS setup. On second thought it is a Monday. The day my fear and loathing of Micro$oft runs rampant. They are a defacto single source provider to a large percentage of computers in the world. They are smart enough to wipe out all the competition and know that would bite them with monopolistic sanctions in most countries. They are good enough to weaken possible contenders and meddle with the rest. If/when that fails there are Vulcans out there…Simple short answer is they are a monopoly.
