That's right. And it's natural for users to stick with what they're familiar 
with. Look how long people stuck with Windows XP even though Microsoft was 
basically begging them to upgrade for years.

I downloaded Angry Birds Rio for the Fire tablet and now have ads 
constantly. Originally they had no ads. I would probably buy the ad-free 
version if I used it much (actually I did buy the Windows version of three 
Angry Birds applications and ran them under Wine a few years ago). I'm not 
much of a game player.

The more I see of Windows, the more I like Linux.
