Microsoft charges $85 for Windows RT license

Ok, Ok, but some of us are going to have to hear the whining of those that 'do' come home shuffling their feet beside them from the full all night, fecal onslaught of the sodomy known as 'gotta be first to try it' syndrome.

Then think we're going to be the one's to hold their collective heads/hair while they spend the next hours/days trying to convince us that they'll "never do it again...", "all the girls do this", "the check's in the mail"...
