Re: That's all right then

"I still have no idea why "snowflake" has become some sort of pejorative insult again or what it is supposed to mean. Last time around, it was a(n anti-)racist term used by blacks against whites, especially in the TV sitcom Love Thy Neighbour."

Sorry to disappoint you, but it's got nothing to do with racism, it's in reference to this line from the film Fight Club: “You are not special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We're all part of the same compost heap. We're all singing, all dancing crap of the world.”

Or instead of that 'deal' they could save even more

Just dump M$ and move to FOSS (Free and open-source software) and save even more money ;^/
