Microsoft Should Confuse the Market More | |
|

Back in January there were numerous news stories about how Microsoft Longhorn might be sold in as many as seven variations. The story died down, and I figured that the company wouldn't be so nutty as to confuse the market with so many variations on a theme. If they want to sell different kinds of tweaks, this can be better done as one grand distribution, with tweaks within the code that can be turned on and off during installation (or whenever). So the story cropped up again last weekend, with people saying there could be as many as seven versions of Microsoft Vista. The gossip sites have the seven as Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Small Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate. If there are going to be this many, Microsoft may as well go all the way and add a slew more. | ||
