Sure you have the right to complain, they just won't care.

They've made that apparent time and time again..

It's called buying the version you need from the start...

You've obviously never written a program in a real work environment.  People NEVER know what they need.

I doubt server requirements change so regularly it would warrant needing new server software every few months.

I mean people in general.  People tend to buy what they think they need, not what they actually need.  In this case, they're going to get screwed backwards and forwards. 

A humorous example: an unnamed international company invested over $1,000,000 in installing IDS and IPS sensors to protect their network of Solaris machines.  It turns out, the IDS and IPS sensors only protect against Intel-based attacks. 

Of course, that has very little to do with the subject.  I just find it a funny story.

That's too bad, best MS can do is send you a nice giftbasket with a "Sorry but we don't care" sticker on the side if you're nice enough to one of the IT guys over the phone.

Good, then you admit that Microsoft's tiered model is flawed and will cause a lot of hardship. 

So what did that admission prove?

I'm not going to pretend they care if you don't like how they bundle services in their OS. You can thank the people @ Antitrust for that. Additionally, like I said each version is bundled with related things so either your incredibly picky or weird. Most desktop users pick the desktop release, buisness users pick buisness release, mediacenter users..well you know where this is going.

We've known exactly where every argument that has been started in the past few days has been going vor some time now.  You're a diehard, irrational, blind Microsoft fanboy.  There's no doubt in my mind this is the case.

Microsoft is the best, Linux is the worst.  We understand.  This is going nowhere. 

Trashed.
