Only to the point PC market was still growing, and continuous OS updates required paying for new versions of the same stuff.
I was there, leaving piracy aside, buying new versions were only when going from MS-DOS to Windows 3.x, to OS/2, to Window 95, to Atari, to Amiga, and so forth.
That market has plateaued, there are no exponential growth curves any longer, to keep everyone on their job, and the shareholders happy.
