I don't think it should be illegal to price things like this.

What should be illegal is only when deceptive practices are used. For example, they should be required to make it clear on the packaging when the new printer does not include a full-capacity cartridge.

If new printers included a full capacity cartridge, it would create a loop-hole where anybody could make money by buying new printers, discarding the printer and reselling just the cartridge from it.

So they sell the new printers with half-full / reduced capacity cartridges to prevent this situation.

Bottom line: don't buy a new printer when you run out of toner thinking you've "beaten the system". You probably haven't.

I used McAfee's suite once because I had to (corporate environment). It popped up all the time wanting this or that. It relied on ActiveX for a lot of what it did. Updates to it failed if your system default browser was set to something other than Internet Explorer.

I'm guessing it's moved on since then, but it lost my trust. I've had to use Norton's suite before too and it had similar reliability issues.

Since using Security Essentials / Defender on Win7 and later it just works and never needs any hand-holding.

I avoided vim for years after being introduced to vi at university, not realising vim could be customised to be much more comfortable and modern feeling.

I don't think it's very hard to switch to stock vim, when the keybindings remain the same. Most of the customisations commonly used are either cosmetic (syntax highlighting, brace matching, search-as-you-type, etc) or don't require much adjustment (delete through all text, etc).

Which would you recommend more out of Neovim, or vim with sensible.vim?

Windows has had its own antivirus (Security Essentials / Windows Defender) for some time now. Do you have any reason not to trust it, or that it isn't adequate?

Most large antivirus vendors don't fill me with a lot of confidence, and my theory is that at least Microsoft's own solution is going to integrate well and stay out of my face.

Well, a quarter of Americans believe Obama is muslim, so go figure...
