- g051051 11y agoConsidering their abysmal track record, it's pretty clear they don't.
- blumkvist 11y agoTheir abysmal track record? Are we still talking about the biggest, most successful software company in the world, which made all of its mountains of money using exactly this pricing strategy?
- fragmede 11y agoYeah. I mean, just look at this graph! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0d/Operating_systems_used_on_top_500_supercomputers.svg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0d/Operating...

- HCDevid 11y agoYou're crazy man. Where do you get these ideas? Next you'll tell me that my opinions formed after 10 minutes of perusing a forum are subject to cognitive bias.
- joshstrange 11y agoNo, but I will tell you that over 10 years of watching this unfold and using Windows for about half of that time I think I've got some ground to stand on. Microsoft is shooting themselves in the foot with this move and playing right into Apple and friend's hands. They are over complicating something that shouldn't be complicated (Desktop, Mobile, and Server are the only valid "flavors" to be releasing at this point).
