Like Television? Oh wait we don't have that anymore. Just You-tube with ADS.

What scares me, is all this store all in the cloud stuff, or on the 
internet like help files. You cannot buy a program but only an Free
APP with ads and other nonsense from <computer brand name> store.

Soon I suspect it will ONLY APPROVED by M$/APPLE/GOOGLE web pages can be 
viewed and all cloud access will have service charge. This I fear the 
most because you are forced into a system with no freedom
and no options out.
