Facebook killed the radio star. And by radio star, I mean the premise of distributed forums around the internet. And that got got by Instagram/SnapChat. And that got got by TikTok. Where the fuck is the internet we once knew?

Microsoft has confirmed 6 versions of Vista: Vista Business, Vista Enterprise, Vista Home Basic, Vista Home Premium, Vista Ultimate, Vista Starter. My favorite is "Vista Starter" -- they ensure that you have to buy a second version of Vista. Woo!
Also available will be versions made specifically for Europe that, in accordance with an EU mandate, remove the Windows media player.
It sounds good... presumably, the less feature-filled items will be cheaper, and if you don't intend to use all of the features in 'Vista Ultimate', you can purchase a stripped down version. Two business and one for emerging markets sounds like a good business plan to me...

No, it's just stupid. I can almost guarantee the difference of the highest costing one and the lowest costing one will be ~$100USD. And which one will Microsoft ship with pre-made computers? The shitty one. And then when the shittiest of them all starts getting attacked and exploited, Microsoft will sit with their hands shoved up their asses and go "oh he should have upgraded." Instead, they couldn't just pick TWO versions (Home, Business) and sell them.
Really? Helps my point even more.
The Starter edition is a streamlined version intended for low powered PCs found in many developing nations.

My guess is most computers its going to be put on aren't going to be "low powered PC's" in "developing nations." My guess is that it's going to be put on 70% of Dell, Gateway and HP computers sold to Western people.

Our species really annoys me.
If that's Microsoft's plan, then I can almost guarantee you that your projection won't be accurate. I used to be a registered vendor for Microsoft products when I was in business selling new PCs. They work hard to make sure you're giving your customers the right thing.
