Just what we need: More versions of Windows
How is it that I can take one copy of Solaris and run it on a uniprocessor desktop as well as a 106 processor F15K server? OS X comes in two versions: A home version "OS X" and a server version "OS X Server". This is getting ridiculous Microsoft!

Just what we need: More versions of Windows  ye | 02/20/08
Maybe because...  Qbt | 02/20/08
Don't be silly  voska1 | 02/20/08
Uhm...  Qbt | 02/20/08
Guffaw!  SpikeyMike | 02/20/08
Seems to be a lot of different commercial Linux flavors, too  killerbunny | 02/20/08
I can excuse different platform versions. And I can accept...  ye | 02/20/08
agree, simplify the offerings, please  killerbunny | 02/20/08
NO THANKS  No_Ax_to_Grind | 02/20/08
With Solaris you get it all. And you choose what to use.  ye | 02/20/08
This is the case...  PB_z | 02/20/08
And that is what yiouy get with Windows  No_Ax_to_Grind | 02/20/08
90% is not 100%  ye | 02/20/08
get the Ultimate version  code_Warrior | 02/20/08
@code_Warrior: Ultimate does not provide server features.  ye | 02/21/08
thats what they are doing  code_Warrior | 02/20/08
It may be the same code base but it's not the exact same code.  ye | 02/21/08
Its not about technology  TheTruthisOutThere@... | 02/20/08
I understand they're trying to market them differently.  ye | 02/20/08
IBM  itguy08 | 02/20/08
Way off.  TheTruthisOutThere@... | 02/21/08
Indeed, I like CHOICE,  No_Ax_to_Grind | 02/20/08
One option that let's you decide what to install.  ye | 02/20/08
Nope, that is not the market they want  No_Ax_to_Grind | 02/20/08
What do you mean "piecing it together"?  ye | 02/20/08
Antitrust concerns, especially on the client side  PB_z | 02/20/08
That makes some sense but I don't think it's really the reason...  ye | 02/20/08
I'll be getting Couger as soon as it comes out.  Grayson Peddie | 02/20/08
I got it mixed up: It's "Cougar."  Grayson Peddie | 02/21/08
So we increast the SMB cost, complexity, and lower productivity?  itguy08 | 02/20/08
That is the trend we're seeing!  SpikeyMike | 02/21/08
