$299 for Windows Pro ain't enough?
Geez, these guys will never be happy. TL |

| If you paid $299 for Pro, you paid $140+ too much. |

| They aren't raising the price of Pro, they are putting out something new, same with Office. |

I agree n4cer, Windows XP cannot be the first version of Windows TechLarry is using, there is also upgrade versions available, you just need to own 98, NT, 2000, ME to be allowed to install it, and he must own one.
He could have also purchased an OEM Version with certified hardware for about $80 (Professional) Anyway, the Enterprise Edition of Vista seems like its going to marketed similar to Office Enterprise and XP VLK, not available through retail. |

| TL, you gladly pay for ?4? OSX upgrades instead of xp (with free service packs) and you are complaining about windows? You are strange... |

| Yes, it certainly is nice when you're a monopoly and you can just jack up the prices to increase revenue at a whim. |
| #7 By 3653 (68.52.61.116) at 7/28/2005 11:36:24 PM |
| latch, that would make sense if the increased price gave you the SAME product. Its safe to assume the premium products will be something different. |
| #8 By 15406 (24.43.125.29) at 7/29/2005 11:11:23 AM |
| #6: that would make sense, but they've been continually adding features that the vast majority of people don't use, so what could they possibly add that would justify an increase? |
| #9 By 3653 (68.52.61.116) at 7/29/2005 4:32:48 PM |
|
latch, you must be the only customer that expects to find every new feature useful to them personally. That isn't a reasonable expectation.
Do you use that same criteria for everything you pay money for? No. |
