There's something I just don't get about Microsoft.....
My MS Win Live OneCare license expires in September. I keep getting prompts about renewing my license for another year for $50.
But you can buy a brand new upgraded copy at Costco for $15, which includes an in-store mfg. rebate of $35 from list price. Heck if you aren't a Costco member you can get it from Amazon for $20.
What is Microsoft's problem? You would think they would save money by letting you renew your coverage online rather than going to their expense of manufacturing a box, manual, and disc and then having to deal with retailers. A normal person would guess that the online renewal would be cheaper than just purchasing a new updated copy.
I bought the new v. 2.0 copy from Costco today and will install it the day before my subscription expires.....
