That second sentence is totally unresponsive and irrelevant to my
question.
Getting back to the matter at hand, spending $200 in order to run a $29
piece of software does not make financial sense to me. Sure, if the
person needs Windows for some other reason, then buying Agent might be a
reasonable option, but to buy Windows solely to run Agent is, to me,
wasting money.
I just can't see any newsreader being worth $229.
