Yearly payment for windows required?

Is it necessary to make a payment every year to maintain the Windows operating system on my computer?

No, it is not necessary to make a payment every year to maintain the Windows operating system on your computer. Once you purchase a licensed copy of Windows, you can use it indefinitely without any additional payments. However, Microsoft does release new versions of Windows periodically, and if you want to upgrade to a new version, you may need to pay for it. Additionally, if you want to receive technical support from Microsoft or access certain features, you may need to purchase a subscription or pay for those services. But in general, you do not need to make annual payments to maintain your Windows operating system.

I dont want to criticize too hard, but if you are interested in those consider reading gearspace thread about v7 update. Their update policy is nasty and a lot of people decided to not invest any more money into this firm. And happily there is a lot of great companies right now that have great chatrandom echat plugins and act customer friendly.
