For me the winner with Jetbrains is that I can see clear prices, the product is defined and I can cancel easily.
With other enterprise products it takes forever to get pricing, scope of what you buy and how to cancel.
A while ago we had to price Windows for 5000 custom devices and it was infuriating to go through a convoluted process with lots of different people, meetings and whatever.

All the official resellers in my country couldn’t even connect me with a person who could give me a quote, without first getting a certification, finishing courses, signing contracts, etc. We rewrote our application on Linux then, it was much easier than dealing with MS licensing BS.
- ficklepickle 4y agoI'm always amazed when I see the various embedded contexts I find windows out in the wild. Usually when they are glitching out and displaying a start menu or something. I guess they are operating at a scale where the licensing hell isn't a major roadblock? I don't get it.
- andix 4y agoIs it an embedded version though? If you see the start menu, probably not. Because you can easily disable it on windows embedded. And configure a lot of other things, that prevent it from glitching out.
