    Does Ford, Subaru, Plymouth, Honda, or any car maker actually
    manufacture the tires that they put on their cars? Do they actually
    mine, transport, and process the ore to product the metal that they use
    in their cars? Do they drill, extract, transport, and process the oil
    to produce the plastics that they use in their car? Why spend money to
    do something for which you don't have the expertise and can be done much
    more cheaply using an existing service that shares its cost amongst many
    customers? You really think Microsoft, or any business that wants to
    remain in business, takes the most expensive route to a solution? When
    was the last time your doorbell rang and a Microsoft representative hand
    delivered a CD that contained the latest updates for your instance of
    Windows?
