I never understood this "versioning" thing! If they have written the code for the complete Windows once, why can't they have just one version? I mean why force poor people to have less feature?
- meepmorp 13y agoI thnk it's less about forcing poor people to have fewer features, and more about forcing people (businesses, really) with more resources and needs to pay more.
- eli 13y agoIt's called price discrimination and it's common among many, many products and services. If there was only one version then you'd either have to price it higher than the "cheap" version, which will lead to price conscious consumers choosing a competitor. Charge less and you're leaving money on the table from businesses that are happy to pay more. It's the same logic behind "Senior Discounts" and coupons.
