  Microsoft says pay more for Windows and get a better product
Time: 08:27 EST/13:27 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Byron Hinson

Microsoft's CEO Steve "I love this company" Ballmer defended its licensing structure and pricing for desktop version of Windows this week at the Gartner Symposium/ITxpo conference. When asked if Microsoft is reconsidering its Software Assurance plan, Ballmer outlined the plan's benefits, which include giving customers a right to all upgrades, fixes, patches, and any enhancements Microsoft issues via add-on packs and capabilities as opposed to more frequent full upgrades. He added that customers have the right to any major upgrades that Microsoft issues as well.

"Microsoft says pay more for Windows and get a better product "

I don't know what to say other than "AAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!"

TechLarry, what did you say when Apple asked for $120 for a point release to OS X?

In context, this refers to Windows vs. Lindows, not to any possible price increases or Software Assurance.

To see the full interview and what was actually said (in context), view the webcast on Gartner's website (email address and password registration required).

I think TL is complaining that the title of the article has nothing to do with the actual contents of the the article. It's obviously just to slander and mislead...

#2,

I said "AAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!".

This is not an Mac vs. Windows thing. Please don't try to turn it into one.

I bitched with the best of them concerning Apple's greed concerning MacOS X, thank you.

#6,

You bring up a good point. The only group of people who really got screwed by the XP release were the 2K to XP Pro upgraders. $200 is an _awful_ lot of money to pay for bug fixes and cosmetics, as well as the privilage of a new Digial Leash.

I don't count the built-in mini-programs for anything because they are generally worthless.

Nobody was forced to upgrade to any version. It's the consumers choice as to whether or not they want to upgrade. If Microsoft wants to charge $10,000 for an XP upgrade, they should feel free to do so.

#9 By 135 (208.50.201.48) at 10/12/2002 12:24:33 AM
Hmm, I'd have to say people claiming XP isn't a major improvement over 2k haven't used it.
