Here are a few excerpts from what looks like Microsoft flopping about on the deck. The company objected to publishing its prices on the Web. The company said there was "no reason why (the prices) should be published to the world, including Microsoft's competitors." Now they wouldn't want a published price list if they were trying to get whatever they could from whoever they could, would they? That wouldn't be their real reason now would it? Extracting maximum prices from all customers according to their ability to pay? Because I gotta ask, if they are a monopoly - what competition? Microsoft opposed price reductions when software functions are disabled, arguing functions that are not available are "still providing value." Oh yeah, those functions that are disabled are providing real value all right. They sit in the code, occupy disk space and memory, but you can't access them. So of course you should pay the same price. Why heck, you should even pay more, if you can afford to. This sounds like the logic of a monopolist. Flop. Flop. Flop. news.excite.com
