Vista Pushes Volume Licensing | |

During Microsoft's annual financial analysts conference today, the company's chief operating officer boasted about increases in Windows volume licensing. It's the "best rate we've seen in many, many years," Kevin Turner said of annuity licensing contracts. He acknowledged that Windows Vista Enterprise and MDOP (Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack) were major drivers. Both products can only be purchased by way of volume licensing contract. By contrast, Windows XP Professional and supporting tools could be purchased without a volume licensing contract. Turner said that about "42 millions PCs" are covered by volume licensing. Among mid-size businesses and enterprise, Windows annuity contract penetration is 19 percent, he said. | ||

If I'm not mistaken, the VOL License also allows use of an earlier version of Windows.
In other words, this 'news' means absolutely nothing. I'm sure not seeing corporations flock to it. TL |
