Should I feel stupid for buying food, when I could take it from your table for
free?

That other software, which you can get for "free" - was also written by people
who have to pay rent, buy food, etc. Granted, Microsoft can lose millions of
sales before they decide to give up and go home, while RDS can probably only
afford to lose a few. When it's no longer worth their time to bother
maintaining / improving the software,  they'll drop it and move on to something
else that will pay the bills.  Who wins then?
