I got about 2 versions of vista free from the University, and XP SP3 also. So no.

But I am using licensed versions on both my desktop and my laptop.
Im not a n00b, I just play like one.

makes sense from a business perspective. you're gonna have to lower the price for developing countries obviously so you'll have to introduce some limit to the cheaper OS or else some smart guy is gonna take a fully operational windows OS that is sold to his country for 50% the price and just buy a bunch and resell over ebay.


That doesn't make the SKU any less retarded.

would you rather get chraged $300 for parts of an OS you dont even use like IIS or remote desktop? or would you drop however much from the price and have a OS that is cheaper and you would never know the difference?

No. I would rather get a different OS and not get charged anything for it. Linux is free, you know.

Do you honestly think people won't notice the difference that a 3-app limit would make?

Many ppl get a legal version for free so this poll kinda fails. Should have that option to.

Seems like most new computers come with it pre-installed. A better question is what are you going to do when Windows 7 comes out in 6 versions. Seriously 6!?!?!?! The lowest edition Windows 7 SE only allows 3 apps open at once.


I will do exactly what I intended to, which will be exactly the same as Windows Vista - I won't install it on my computer.
And if MS will cut support to XP and nothing will be realeased for it, then byebye new games for me.
