Also, they don't need to subsidize an on-going cost like the Kindle's wireless network.
So I would hope it'd be okay --- I'm certainly not helping things by not purchasing anything (can't since I don't have a sufficiently up-to-date Windows box)

VMWare is the answer. I have a windows XP client that I've had for a few years now. You can get a license pretty cheaply on eBay.
The nice thing is that it will work on any platform VMWare works on. No need to reauthorize DRM stuff on new computers, ever. I have all of my iTunes content in there, as well as my Sony eBook software. Actually I don't think I've even reset the virtual machine for about a month, because you can just pause it and it resumes a few seconds later.
If I move over to Mac OS in a year then that Windows XP install goes with me. Or if I move to Linux for that matter. Also it will run in VM Ware Fusion, virtual machines never become obsolete. Also their motherboards never fail
