MS is always over charging. We discuss this at work constantly and have not been able to figure out why MS does not offer any kind of family licensing plan. A plan where home users could purchase a license at a discount that would work for 3 to 4 computers. I've got 4 running now - one for me, wife, and one each for twin 14 year old boys. I need a FREAKIN' FAMILY OS PLAN, MICROSOFT!!
Additionally, the price gouging drives, nay, FUELS the black market. I think MS could make even MORE money if they would just be reasonable with pricing to home users, and I'm not talking about selling a whittled down version of their power software at a reduced price. Give us the full power version at fair, home user, or family plan pricing. I've never seen anything like this before! Most corps get a volume discount so they actually pay less than us poor folks trying to put our kids though college with ungodly expensive OS's on their computers. It makes me sick.
Bring on the black market. Down with MICROSOFT!!! Oppressor of the common man!!
Okay, I'm done venting. Now, I gotta save up for Vista.
