BAD Vista

The BadVista Campaign
Surprises inside Microsoft Vista's EULA
No virtualization for you!
Right now, consumers and businesses can buy two versions of Windows XP for their desktops: Home and Professional. Let's review the choices they're going to face, including pricing, when Vista rears its head:
  • Starter (OEM pricing only)
  • Home Basic ($199, or $99 upgrade)
  • Home Premium ($239, or $159 upgrade)
  • Business ($299, or $199 upgrade)
  • Enterprise (OEM pricing only)
  • Ultimate ($399, or $259 upgrade)
Product differentiation among market segments is common and makes good sense. But this is ridiculous. Six different versions?
