John C. Dvorak talks about his initial opinion of Windows Vista and points out an interesting, although laughable, pricing scheme.
Column from PC Magazine: The Microsoft Protection Racket: "Microsoft talks about how when it releases Vista, there will be various versions such as Home, Small Business, Enterprise, and so on. Why doesn't the company just bite the bullet and bring out various exploitable versions? Here are some suggestions:
Vista � Won't Boot Edition� $29.95
Vista � Preloaded with Viruses and Spyware Edition� $39.95
Vista � Initially Clean but Use at Your Own Risk Edition� $49.95
Vista � Clean with Firewall and Weekly Protection Update Edition� $200"
