Yes you heard me right. With Ultimate edition being the only TRUE new
windows out since you won't get extra's with the premium.. And probably
can't even control your sharing like the BS XP Home edition is now, which
sucks even for home networks.. The price being $399.00 all this is going to
do is FORCE more users to pirate windows. The operating system is now
costing most users half the cost of the entire computer built from ground
up. Most people don't have that kind of money to throw out for an upgraded
OS so two things will happen. XP will remain popular and not decline with
most users because upgrade is too damn expensive.. and the other will be
that more people will run a pirated operating system. I will be a former
and stick with XP myself since I can't afford the Ultimate and all the other
editions are a big joke!
What the heck is M$ thinking?? I don't think M$ thinks at all with the
ridiculous version structure and pricing at all. The ultimate is $250.00
higher than the XP Professional Home Retail and now they just about
increased the price by nearly 75%! With all the new activation process
PRICES should go DOWN not UP! Since supposedly there is suppose to be less
piracy meaning less loss of revenue but NO what does M$ do but increase the
price by another 75% over the currently top operating system. M$ thinking..
let's make the licensing structure even stricter for our paying customers
and on top of that pain let's increase the overall cost of the product by
another 75%! ONLY M$ gets away with this and I don't UNDERSTAND WHY? If
your favorite restaurant increased prices by even 50% you would stop eating
there! If stores increased their prices by even 20% you stop shopping there
and go elsewhere. So why do computer customers who are suppose to have
some literacy take it when it comes to the operating system which is a
software product that's licensing gets stricter and prices don't go up a
small percentage but alot!
Stopping piracy is suppose to help the consumer by saving them money on the
cost of the product! But instead it's hurting us by costing EVEN MORE than
it did before as well as making issues with licensing so complicated that
there has to be debates on what is and what is not allowed!
